The three finalists per category will be judged via video interviews by the judging panel compromised of Captains, senior crew, and industry professionals, the winners will be announced during the Crew Awards ceremony on the 15th of October.
This year’s Crew Awards will have a royal theme, a Regal weekend away and a Knight to Remember. Superyacht Captains, crew, award nominees, and finalists will be invited to attend a weekend full of fun activities in the Mediterranean’s luxury marina village. After a three-year partnership with ACREW, the awards will take place in Porto Montenegro, the world’s first platinum-status marina located on the UNESCO-protected Bay of Kotor. Last year, Porto Montenegro was one of the official Gold Sponsors of ACREW and presented with the prestigious award of ‘World Best Superyacht Marina,’ following their win of ACREW’s Adriatic’s ‘Best Superyacht Marina’ in 2020.
The Process
The celebrations will bring together over 500 captains, crew and professionals from Porto Montenegro and other marinas in the Adriatic and the wider Mediterranean. Voting opened on the 6th May 2022 and the ACREW Crew Awards finalists were announced on the ACREW website on 10th June.
There are 20 nominations categories from ‘Best Charter Yacht Crew Award’ to ‘Best Deck Award’ and ‘Best Chef Award’ to ‘Environmental Crew Award’. The three finalists per category will be judged via video interviews by the panel ahead of the main event on the 14th – 16th October, where the overall winners will be announced during the ceremony. The Crew Awards 2022 recognise Superyacht crew members for professional excellence and personal achievements, who have proven to be the very best in the industry across all onboard departments. The judging panel is comprised of former and current senior Superyacht captains and crew who are highly valued in the yachting community. Winners are announced during the Ceremony.
