The winners of the European motorboat and yacht of the year are set to be announced this month and we’re staying tuned to see how three of the nominated Beneteau crafts will place.

The Oceanis 51.1, Gran Turismo 50, and Figaro Beneteau 3 are up for awards in three different categories, the winners of which will be known at a prizegiving during Boot Dusseldorf which runs from 20-28 January.

Kicking off on 20 January, the German boat show will house 1,800 exhibitors and is said to expect 250,000 visitors.

The nominations for Beneteau in their respective categories are;

Oceanis 51.1
"Family Cruiser" category

Gran Turismo 50
"Over 45 feet" category

Figaro Bénéteau 3 “Special Yachts” category

Beneteau will have a strong presence at this show with stands for sailing yachts as well as their inboard and outboard motorboat ranges.
