The Superyacht Life Foundation (SYLF) is excited to announce that nominations are now open for the 2026 edition of The Honours, a global celebration of the individuals redefining what it means to be part of the superyacht community.

The Honours, now in its fourth year, is a platform that shines a spotlight on the people whose stories transform the way our industry is seen, both inside and outside the yachting community.
Over the past three editions, The Honours has recognised and celebrated an inspiring cross-section of leaders and visionaries, from founders of philanthropic initiatives and champions of ocean conservation to advocates for diversity, education and scientific research.


“The Honours is about giving these exceptional people a voice and showing the world the incredible impact they are making. We encourage the entire community to come forward and nominate the people who inspire them,” says Dilan Saraç, Executive Director of SYLF.
Nominations are welcomed from across the superyachting world, from crew and captains to designers, engineers, philanthropists, researchers and more. Recognition may be for charitable endeavours, environmental leadership, groundbreaking projects, mentorship or any initiative with a lasting positive impact.
All submissions will be reviewed by an independent panel of respected industry and non-industry figures. Following a thorough deliberation process, three honourees will be selected and revealed. Further details on the official reveal will be released soon.

Do you know someone who deserves to stand in the spotlight?
Now is the moment to celebrate the people who elevate our industry and embody its very best values around the globe.
