About BOB
The Award

What

What

The Best of Boats Award is the biggest award for motorboats in Europe, assuming the number of participating countries, jury members and media. As the only motorboat award worldwide, the BOB Award is at home in all European water-sports regions and internationally respected as seal of quality in leisure boating.

Who

Who

The boat journalists who found the Best of Boats Award have three things in common: Profound experience as boat testers, a strong interest in the practical needs of active boaters and the non-competitive friendship as boat professionals from all over Europe and the USA.

How

How

Hundreds of new boats from the leading boat-building countries are tested each year by the BOB jury members in confirmed full-scale boat tests. User-oriented categories put the boater’s perspective in focus. The award ceremony is hosted since 2014 by the Boat & Fun Berlin.
