The Honours, Our Story
There is so much good going on within the superyacht industry – from philanthropic ventures and intrepid exploration to unrivalled craftsmanship and sustainable innovations helping make the world a better place – but these stories are regularly overlooked.
That's why The Honours recognises the people behind the inspirational stories that make the superyachting world exceptional.
Honourees 2024
FRÉDÉRIC JOUSSET
Combining his sailing passion with art initiation from a young age, Frédéric Jousset founded the Art Explora Foundation to democratise access to culture and bring art to the masses. It resulted in the birth of the world's largest catamaran and innovative floating museum, ArtExplorer, currently touring the Mediterranean.
MIKE HORN
Having spent over 20 years pushing the limits of exploration, achieving feats like swimming the Amazon, circumnavigating the equator, and trekking from the Arctic Cape to the North Pole, Mike Horn launched the Pangaea X youth initiative in 2008 to empower young innovators to tackle global issues through environmental and social projects.
NICK ENTWISLE
After decades in the superyacht industry and as retirement loomed, the superyacht industry veteran redirected his passions and set up a Yachting Gives Back on his adopted home of Mallorca. Nick Entwisle's organisation mobilises the superyacht community to support local homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and food banks.
Inspirational. Experiential. Transformative.
In an exciting collaboration, The Superyacht Life Foundation has joined forces with the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and Pier Sixty-Six to bring this year's ceremony to life.
The evening celebrations will be held at the iconic South Florida resort, Pier Sixty-Six, located in Fort Lauderdale, on Tuesday 28 October. This one-of-a-kind venue with stunning waterfront views and sophisticated style will provide the backdrop for the 2025 Honours Ceremony.
Pier Sixty-Six is the nearest marina to the Atlantic Ocean and has long been a gathering place for boaters and travellers, and will now be home to The Honours guests for a night.
The exquisite and finely crafted Bowsprit award represents the guiding spirits of the superyachting world. Like the inspirational people it honours, the award symbolises those at the leading edge, pointing the way forward and charting a new course, while the waves express the gathering momentum that follows our honourees.
