The Boat Builder Awards 2025

New look, new venue to provide fresh, dynamic experience

The Boat Builder Awards is to undergo a radical transformation for the 2025 event as it moves to a new venue to keep the awards at the heart of the Metstrade experience.

The Boat Builder Awards 2025 will take place in a new installation being built adjacent to Hall 8 as Metstrade expands. The new venue will make it simpler for guests to integrate the evening programme into their Metstrade schedule and aids a renewed shift to improve the networking experience for attendees while maintaining the awards’ focus on recognising achievement in boatbuilding.

Six key award categories including the signature Lifetime Achievement award, will provide the core of the evening with fine dining and entertainment adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
