The 20th edition of the World Superyacht Awards, in association with Acquera Club, will return to Venice, Italy, in May 2025. Nominations are now open (to yachts of 30m LOA and above) and will close on 31 December 2024.

The awards include a Lifetime Achievement Award, which honours a designer who has made an indelible impression on the industry.
