Celebrating excellence across the UK leisure marine industry
The British Marine Sector Awards were launched in November 2025 to recognise the outstanding businesses, products, services and sustainability initiatives that are shaping the future of the UK leisure marine industry.
Celebrating achievements across participating British Marine Associations, the awards recognise members who continue to raise standards through innovation, excellence and commitment to our sector.
A huge congratulations to all of this year's winners and finalists. Your achievements demonstrate the strength, diversity and innovation that exists throughout the British Marine membership.
The Road to the National Finals
Each participating British Marine Association has recognised winners across three award categories:
- Business of the Year
- Product or Service of the Year
- Sustainability Award
Association winners in each category will then progress to the British Marine Sector Awards National Finals, taking place during the Southampton International Boat Show 2026 at the Marine Trades Association dinner on Monday 22nd September.
There, sector winners from across the industry will compete for the highest honours as the overall national winners are announced in a celebration of excellence across the UK leisure marine sector.
Recognising Excellence. Celebrating Innovation. Championing British Marine Members.
