BOB award nomination

The international jury has now announced the finalists of the Best of Boats Award 2023 in six categories.

The winners of the BEST OF BOATS AWARDS will be ceremoniously announced during the BOOT & FUN BERLIN 2023 boat show. It will be the 10th time that Europe’s best motorboats will be honored with the award in Berlin.

“The most convincing new boat models of the 2023 model year, which have prevailed after numerous tests over the last twelve months, will be honored. The 14-member jury of experts, consisting of editors-in-chief and motorboat test directors from all over Europe and the USA, thoroughly scrutinized the most interesting international motorboat innovations during test drives in numerous cruising grounds.

The special feature of the Best of Boats Awards: The categories are not based on the length of the boat, but on the intended use, i.e. the future boat users. Other important criteria that make the BOB Award unique: Only boats that have been tested by several jurors are considered for selection. And: Novelties that are still under development therefore do not take part in the BOB Award. All this, as well as the intensity and scope of the test runs, make the Best of Boats Award a seal of approval for the special quality of the selected boats. Nationally and internationally, the award is one of the most prestigious awards in the boating industry.”

After an intensive season with hundreds of boat tests, the 23 finalists of the Best of Boats Award 2023 have been announced in the following categories:

Best for Beginners
Best for Family
Best for Fun
Best for Travel
Best for Performance
Best for Electric

We are excited and honored that Quarken 27 range has been nominated as a finalist in the Best for Fun category.
