ACREW is very proud to open the nominations for the 2019 Crew Awards.

Based on last year’s overwhelming response from the yachting industry, more than 300 Nominees representing approximately 150 superyachts are expected in this year’s nomination round.

As the 2019 Crew Awards get underway, ACREW welcomes the great support from Crew Match (Gold Sponsor), IMM (Silver Sponsor), Edmiston Crew Recruitment and Dohle Yachts (Bronze Sponsors).

e3 Systems sponsoring the Chief Engineer & ETO Crew Award and Magnum’s Butler Academy sponsoring the Chief Stew Crew Award support their awards the second year in a row. Tilllman Domotics have decided to represent the First Officer Crew Award in 2019. The Captain categories are supported by The Islander (500GT) and by Ahoy Club (3000GT). Porto Montenegro joining the Crew Awards for the first time will represent the Best Private Yacht Crew Award, whereas the bespoke travel agency GMT continues their support of the Best Charter Yacht Crew Award.

MedAire and RDT, a Philips company have come together to create a new Award for the Crew Awards starting a great initiative to reward those that go above and beyond in keeping the crew and guests/owners safe: the Duty of Care Crew Award.

Another new Award is the Humanitarian Crew Award sponsored by RoamingExpert in collaboration with YachtAid Global to acknowledge those yachts or crew members that make efforts in Humanitarian Aid. More sponsors will be announced soon.

The ceremony will end with an After Party sponsored by Liquid Yacht Wear.

The stage for ACREW’s international Crew Awards will be the prestigious Palais de la Méditerranée in Nice. This iconic 5 Star Luxury Hyatt commands a prominent position on the Promenade des Anglais across from Lido beach and glittering waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Behind its 1920 façade sits a splendidly seamless five-star hotel that oozes flawless decadence and an air of something extra special. It attracts the world’s royalty and is very much the pinnacle of French elegance and historical riches of the French Riviera.
