Find out who picked up the brightest gongs in the boating world at our lavish ceremony in London
The leading lights of the leisure marine industry gathered at The Savoy Hotel in London on Monday night to find out who would be going home with a coveted Motor Boat of the Year Award.
The awards are voted on by the technical teams from Motor Boat & Yachting and Motor Boats Monthly, and any boat nominated had to have been tested by one of the magazines before January 2013.
The prestigious Garmin Outstanding Service Award, however, is decided by you, with nominations for marine companies coming in thick and fast since voting opened late last year.
