Every year, the European Powerboats of the Year, organized by confreres of the nautical press from all over Europe, reward the best boats marketed on the Old Continent, divided into 4 categories of length and a category of hull.

Getting a European Award is often for a model, if not the guarantee of a European commercial success, at least the recognition of the professionals of a well-born boat.

These Trophies will be unveiled, as usual, on the 1st day of the Düsseldorf Boat Show, an international boat show that has traditionally taken place at the end of January, in the Rhine City.

Yachting Art Magazine invites you to discover without further delay, who are the 24 lucky nominees for the coveted title of European PowerBoat of the Year 2019....
