The Superyacht Life Foundation has opened nominations for the 2026 edition of The Honours, its annual programme recognising individuals making a meaningful impact within and beyond the superyachting world.

Now in its fourth year, The Honours has built a reputation for shining a light on the people whose work often goes unrecognised — from ocean conservation advocates and philanthropic founders to mentors, researchers and champions of diversity within the industry. Previous editions have celebrated an intentionally broad cross-section of the community, reflecting the Foundation’s ambition to change the way superyachting is perceived by the wider world.

Nominations are open to anyone connected to the industry — crew, captains, designers, engineers, scientists and beyond — with recognition available for charitable work, environmental leadership, education, mentorship or any initiative with a demonstrable positive impact.

“The Honours is about giving these exceptional people a voice and showing the world the incredible impact they are making,” said Dilan Saraç, Executive Director of the Superyacht Life Foundation. “We encourage the entire community to come forward and nominate the people who inspire them.”

All submissions will be reviewed by an independent panel drawn from both inside and outside the industry, with three honourees selected and announced at a later date.

Nominations can be submitted at thehonours.org/nomination.
