Wednesday 25 January 2012 ,
We are proud that the Firefly, built at our shipyard in 2011, is nominated for the World Superyacht awards 2012.
Due to the overwhelming number of nominations received, Boat International Media’s expert teams of editors have whittled down the nominees to an outstanding list of World Superyacht Awards finalists who now stand in contention to receive a coveted Neptune trophy.
In the remaining weeks before the Judges' meeting, which will take place near Milan on 29 & 30 March 2012, the World Superyacht Awards judges will be making personal visits to finalist yachts that have not yet been seen by at least one member of the jury. In addition to the judges’ testimonies, comprehensive dossiers, including photographs and statements from the owners, builders and designers of each of the finalists, will guide the jury in their difficult task of selecting the winners. The results of their deliberations will remain secret until the gala evening and prize giving on 5 May 2012 at the Çırağan Palace Kempinski in Istanbul, a former Ottoman palace bordering the Bosphorus waterway.
