Every year a panel of industry professionals acknowledges the ingenuity and craftsmanship displayed by the most exceptional superyachts capable of venturing into the farthest corners of the world. While numerous superyachts are referred to as 'expedition yachts,' few, under scrutiny, genuinely meet the specific needs of a vessel designed to explore the oceans across all latitudes.
This award category carefully sifts through any misnomers to acknowledge only the remarkably capable true explorer yachts.
