European Powerboat of the Year: The nominees up to 10 metres boat length
In this "entry-level class", the jury places particular emphasis on safety, easy handling and the price-performance ratio of the boat.

Each of the boats is characterised by innovative technologies, outstanding design and exceptional performance. The versatility of the nominees is particularly noteworthy; they offer first-class options for both leisure captains and experienced skippers. From sporty day cruisers to comfortable cabin boats - the variety of models reflects the different needs and preferences of boaters.

The decision will certainly not be easy, as each boat offers its own unique advantages and charms.
