Congratulations to the winners of The Honours, which recognise the world’s most inspirational people in superyachting. The first three recipients of a coveted Bowsprit award were celebrated at the inaugural Honours event in Monaco.

Superyacht owner, ocean conservation advocate and philanthropist Wendy Schmidt, superyacht First Officer and industry DEI proponent Jenny Matthews, and business strategist turned Director at YachtAid Global Zoran Selakovic were feted at a special dinner event.

The Honours was conceived as an opportunity for the superyacht industry to recognise the extraordinary people making a difference behind the scenes, taking the focus away from the yachts and placing the spotlight firmly on the good that happens in the day-to-day superyachting life.
