Awards

It is not easy to be objective about the quality of your own work. Organisations such as the World Superyacht Awards, the International Superyacht Society Awards and their expert, independent juries help to provide an unbiased measure of achievement. An overview of awards in recent years can be found below.

Jan Timmerman, CEO of Royal Huisman adds: “On behalf of our team I would like to say that we are very happy and honoured with these awards. At the same time and although we have received more than a fair share of such recognition, we are not planning to lean back following this success: we will never forget that a shipyard is only as good as its next boat.”
