What is the Motor Boat Awards ?

The Motor Boat Awards is an international award recognized in the nautical world. This prize, created by the British magazine Motor Boat & Yachting, allows to highlight and to reward last motor boats models.

The election of those boats is established in two times. The preselection of nominees is made using the votes of Internet users. Then, a jury chooses the finalists and then the winners.

The boats fall into the ten categories offered:

Sportsboats up to 30ft – Sportsboats over 30ft – SUV’s – Sportscruisers up to 45ft – Sportscruisers up to 45ft – Flybridges up to 60ft –  Flybridges up to 60ft – Custom Yachts – Judge’s Special award – Customer service award.

Two Fairline models selected among the finalists

During first election steps, two models of Fairline boats stand out : the Targa 45 GT (“Sportscruisers up to 45ft” category) and the F//line 33 Outboard (“Sportsboats up to 30ft” category). So, these lattern become finalists following the first jury’s selection.

After the announcement of the cancellation of the Boot Düsseldorf boat show (scheduled for January 22-30, 2022), the reveal of the winners took place online (Tuesday January 25, 2022 at 5:00 p.m.).

The online ceremony was hosted by Hugo Andreae – Motor Boat & Yachting Editor and Jack Haines – Motor Boat & Yachting Deputy Editor.

Following this, we are happy to announce that the Fairline Targa 45 GT is Highly Commended by the magazine. Indeed, this distinction comes in second place after the prize of the winner of the chosen category..

The jury congratulates Fairline for mastering its know-how. Also, the Targa 45 GT is highly appreciated for its quality, attention to detail and its impressive hull.

NEW MODELS

2021 has been synonymous of new things, with the unveiling of four new models among our brands:

• Endurance 60 from Pardo Yachts
• Escape 30 from Rand Boats
• Spirit 25 from Rand Boats
• F-Line 33 from Fairline Yachts (last version)
• U Pijchu 600 from Fanale Marine

PARDO Yachts’ new model, the Endurance 60, was a pleasant surprise at its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival.

Its innovative and futuristic aspect seduced the jury of the World Yacht Trophies 2021 by winning the “World Best Innovation” award.

It is on the quays of the Croisette in Cannes, that the Endurance 60 was unveiled for the first time to the general public, and it caused a sensation. The sleek and slender lines give a certain elegance to this model. The gentle curvature in the center of the yacht offers a minimalist and original design. All the expectations of a yacht, the Pardo Endurance 60 meets them.

The redesigned trendy look offers new shapes. Indeed, the design combines a sporty, futuristic and nautical spirit. The flybridge is presented as a sort of headliner on the deckhouse and also features polarized windows for delineation and security of access.

The charm of the Endurance 60 is immediately apparent, and changes depending on the environment in which it is found. Take for example the decks at the rear of the yacht that open up while at anchor. These transform the cockpit into a large open space. Moreover, the addition of teak on the walls makes the place warm and friendly.  

The Endurance 60 has a living space of 18 meters in length for a displacement of 30 tons. Moreover, it has two Volvo IPS 700 engines to reach a top speed of 25 knots. The design of this new model is imagined by the naval architect at the initiation of Cantiere del Pardo: David Leone. And for the interior design, we owe this wonderful achievement to Nauta Design.
