About the Asian Marine & Boating Awards

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.
