Asian Marine & Boating Awards
The Asian Marine & Boating Awards (AMB Awards) celebrate the best yachts for sale, events, personalities, destinations, and more, both in Asia and worldwide.
Launching on to the Asian yachting market in 2010, the awards are usually run in conjunction with the China (Shanghai) International Boat Show (CIBS) and take place in March/ April each year.
CIBS is the longest-running and most comprehensive annual boating event in China. Launched in 1996, the show attracts over 500 brands from more than 20 countries, and as a nod of recognition for the 15th edition in 2010, the inaugural Asian Marine & Boating Awards took place.
Described by the organizers of the awards as being "designed to be a thank you to all loyal exhibitors", the awards effectively set out to create a "new standard for recognizing excellence in the ever-growing marine industry in China".
Around 14 awards are handed out each year during the elaborate award ceremony including;
- Yacht Club of the Year
- Best Sailing Yacht (<45’)
- Best Fishing Boat
- Asian Regatta of the Year
- Most Innovative Company
- Most Eco-Friendly Marine Business
During the 2022 Asian Marine and Boating Awards, a new award was added to the anticipated award ceremony. Continuing the ongoing movement to make the superyacht industry greener, the Environmental Pioneer Award was created to honor efforts being made to create and utilize eco-friendly innovations.
With a panel of judges selected from a variety of both local and international marine firms, media, and marine industry professionals, the award ceremony endured a break due to the coronavirus pandemic and returned in September 2022 as a stand-alone event.
