The much anticipated Crew Awards from ACREW took place at Le Palace in Nice on Saturday 13th October in partnership with Port Vauban. 275 guests, made up mostly of captains and crew, joined the ceremony to recognise exceptional crew in
- superyachting. The celebratory atmosphere was inspiring and the support from crew for their peers was
remarkable. Every award announcement had the audience on the edge of their seats. The winners were met with loud applause and received their awards with pride. ACREW is honoured to recognise and celebrate every single nominee, finalist and the final winners, throughout the rigorous process that lead to this ceremonial event. Heartfelt thanks go out to every member of crew that took the time to recognise the brilliance of someone they work with. With over 10,000 votes over 3 weeks in August, the awards are the first to truly reflect the voice of crew. The 17 winners, as well as the 200 nominees, deserve to be held as aspirational figures for new crew and any crew wanting to make the most from their career onboard yachts. Roger Horner, Group Managing Director e3 Systems, emphasised this in his words when announcing David Honeybun from MY Gene Machine as the winner of the Engineer & ETO Crew Award saying “In our business, the Chief Engineer and the ETO are as important to the yacht as the water it floats on! As such they need to be recognised.”
