Boat International Media are also pleased to announce that The Golden Anchor has confirmed that they will be Platinum sponsors, third time running for this prestigious event.

An independent panel of judges - superyacht owners and respected industry professionals - chaired by Roger Lean-Vercoe, will again have the difficult task of selecting the best new builds from 2008, nominated over the course of the year.

It was all like a dream. We felt we were in a Bond movie. Ravishing women, diamonds, the whole evening was a class act and a credit to you.

Mr Michael Hill, Owner of VvS1

As Golden Anchor enter their 3rd year of Platinum Sponsorship of the World Superyacht Awards, we reflect on a unique event combined with a unique experience.

Boat International, a recognised leading world publication have indeed "stepped out" of themselves to create a world leading branded event, which brings together both the leaders and owners in the Superyacht Industry with their many associated support teams and clients.

Venice and the San Maggiore Island, plays the perfect host in offering a stunning backdrop to this unique and world class annual event where recognition, respect and relationships, are all beautifully and subtly blended.

Golden Anchor are proud to be involved and associated as Platinum Sponsors for hopefully many more years to come

Brian Stewart, CEO of The Golden Anchor - World Superyacht Awards Platinum Sponsor for '07, '08, '09 and '10.

On behalf of Flyghtship, I would like to thank you for a very enjoyable evening at the World Superyacht Award Ceremony in Venice. The event was superbly organized and the function a credit to you and your company.

The Awards are a recognition of all the skills and talents required to build a successful yacht. We at Flyghtship appreciate the recognition given by your expert panel of judges.

Please pass on our thanks to all your team who organized the evening events and a special thanks to the Judging Team who took the time from busy schedules to evaluate all the entrants. We would be pleased to welcome the Judges and any members of your team aboard T6 at any time.

I wanted to thank you for all your hard work for the awards ceremony. We all had a fabulous time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves (as I am sure any pictures will attest!) We very much look forward to the next event.

Many thanks again from all at RLD.

I wanted to thank you for a great evening in Venice, the awards and the party were a lot of fun. We are still a little stunned by T6's win at the awards and are most appreciative of the recognition of her. Thank you for a great night and a great honour for T6.

We want to thank you and every one of Boat International for a great time in Venice at the World Superyacht Award. Our guests were very excited about the evening.
Being nominated was already a prize for the yard and it was very special to be there.

I have finally had time to have a look at the pictures of the WSA event!

I really wish I had a chance to be there... the layout of the room is just amazing. I love the design and I am truly impressed by what Marieux did!
