World Superyacht Awards 2026: The Winners in Full

OpenSea24 Newsroom·April 22, 2026 4 min read

Boat International's black-tie evening in Venice crowned this year's finest — with a first for a sub-30-metre hybrid.

The 2026 World Superyacht Awards ceremony in Venice recognised outstanding builds across sixteen categories. Motor Yacht of the Year went to a 77-metre Feadship, with a Sanlorenzo 44Alloy taking Best Semi-Displacement below 45 metres.

In a first for the awards, a sub-30-metre hybrid — the Arcadia A96 — took the Sustainable Yacht trophy over larger nominees, reflecting the growing weight given to embedded-carbon and operational-emissions metrics.

Baltic Yachts collected Sailing Yacht of the Year for a 43-metre carbon sloop delivered to a European owner.
