Asia Boating Awards 2015

Created by Asia-Pacific Boating and China Boating magazines in 2005, the annual Asia Boating Awards recognise the best of the maritime industry in Asia and internationally. Presented during a lavish ceremony, the awards serve as a benchmark for the industry in the Asia-Pacific region.

This prestigious event will give VIPs guests and industry insiders from around the region, and world, the chance to network and celebrate together in one of Asia’s most vibrant maritime cities.

“The Asian boating market is complex and sometimes difficult to navigate, so the global and regional brands that are succeeding here deserve to be recognised for all of their hard work. Gathering all the nominees and special guests together for the annual black-tie Asia Boating Awards is a fantastic way to celebrate their successes, as well as the industry’s, in Asia Pacific.”
– Glen Watson, Editor-in-Chief, Asia-Pacific Boating

“The Asia Boating Awards celebrate and acknowledge yachting brands those have demonstrated outstanding achievement and success in Asia throughout the year. Together with our partners, we have witnessed the positive changes in this promising region and we trust the success is in need of great effort and deserve to celebrate.”
– Samuel Xu, Deputy Editor-In-Chief, China Boating
