Ε tesian Marine is proud to announce that Quarken 35 Cabin is a finalist of the 2025 Motor Boat Award.
The Motor Boat Awards are hosted by Motor Boat & Yachting, and the awards are judged purely on the boats’ design, ability and value for money in their chosen market place.
The finalists for the 2025 Motor Boat Awards have been announced. After months of testing, reviewing and debating, the judges have selected the shortlist of boats in each of the nine main categories from which the winners will be chosen.
As always, every boat has to go through an exhaustive sea trial process just to make the shortlist as it’s the only way the judges can be certain all the finalists have the performance and seakeeping to match their showroom appeal.
This year they have also launched a new category for innovation to reward the boat builders which have dared to be different and helped develop innovations that should benefit us all.
The awards, which are widely considered to be the Oscars of the boating world, are being sponsored by Sleipner, whose world leading products improving comfort and safety at sea make them the perfect partners. Category sponsors Garmin and Lumishore have also chosen to support the Customer Service award and Flybridges over 60ft awards respectively.
