The Asia Boating Awards are widely known as the region's premier event for recognising the efforts of boat builders, marinas, clubs and individuals in creating a diverse and exciting boating community in the region.
 
For the first time in the Asia Boating Awards' six-year history, the lavish ceremony was held in Hong Kong and coincided with the Hong Kong Gold Coast Boat Show. Oyster Sales Manager, Barry Ashmore, along with Oyster’s Hong Kong based exclusive representative, Bart Kimman, were on hand to collect the award, which recognised the new Oyster 575’s exceptional innovation in a ‘production’ yacht over 51 feet.

Commenting on the award, Bart Kimman said, “I am personally very pleased with this prestigious award. The jury has recognised how Oyster’s design team has achieved significant design improvements to the already very successful Oyster 54 and 56, and how every new Oyster moves the benchmark of performance and on board comfort forward. At both the Singapore and Hong Kong boat shows we have had overwhelming interest in both existing and new Oyster models”.
