SINGAPORE PRESS HOLDINGS LIMITED 'We handed out 25 Asia Boating Awards - the most ever - in Singapore this year. I congratulate all of the winners, as well as the several hundred nominees. These brands, builders, yacht clubs, marinas, companies and people from the region and around the world are working very hard to meet the needs of the growing number of boaters in Asia Pacific,' said Glen Watson, Editor-in-Chief of Asia-Pacific Boatingmagazine.

This year, nomination criteria have been refined and categories streamlined for each award, including four new categories which include the Best Multihull Motor Yacht, Best Multihull Sailing Yacht, Best Asian Yacht Refit and Best Asian Boat Show due to popular demand and industry trends.

The 2016 Asia Boating Awards in Singapore was an exciting night of celebration with all the nominees and winners who put in so much effort throughout the year,' says China BoatingEditor-In-Chief Samuel Xu.
