After a successful inaugural edition in 2023 – in which yacht owner and philanthropist Wendy Schmidt, YachtAid Global director Zoran Selakovic, and superyacht First Officer and DEI proponent Jenny Matthews were each honoured with a coveted Bowsprit award – The Honours 2024 has officially opened for nominations, which can be made on the nominations page at thehonours.org.

Organised by The Superyacht Life Foundation and the Monaco Yacht Show, The Honours seeks to celebrate the inspiring people who are inspiring change both within and through superyachting and the superyacht industry. The 2023 laureates epitomise the extraordinary positive impacts that owners, crew, and industry can have both within the industry and outside it with industry initiatives, and philanthropic and humanitarian projects in which superyachting plays a central role.
