Let the Games Begin
This time around, we've got nine main categories with top-notch boats vying for the top spot. Our judges, the boating industry's highly-skilled and experienced 'crew,' scrutinize each vessel with a fine-tooth comb, ensuring they've got the goods both on and off the water. It ain't a walk in the park; these boats have to pass rigorous sea trials to earn a spot on the shortlist.
