The MOTY – Multihull of the Year – is an election whose purpose is to determine the best new multihulls launched on the market. Designed and organized by the Multihulls World team, the MOTY is now an annual event.
This rule applies to the six categories for which it is possible to vote on the www.multihulloftheyear.com website (i.e. “ Sail – Under 45’, Sail 45’ to 55’, Sail – Over 55’, Power – Under 45’, Power – 45’ to 60’ and Power – Over 60’ ”) and therefore exclude the two new categories “IMS Premiere” (which will be the result of voting by the Multihulls World jury), and “Capt’n Boat” (which will be run by Capt’n Boat's sailors).
For this 2026 edition, the nominees have been selected by our Jury from the multihulls launched (in the water) between the 2025 and 2026 editions of the Miami International Boat Show. The list of nominees was announced on February 11th 2025, opening day of the Show.
The election results will be determined by the votes of the readers of Multihulls World. Readers can vote through a dedicated website: a vote will be considered valid if it has elected a multihull in each category. Any further vote by the same person will be considered void.
The votes open on February 11, 2026 and closing date for voting is April 18, 2026 – before the International Multihull Show.
The winners will be announced during the International Multihull Show, on April 22, 2026.
Multihull of the Year 2027
The 2027 nominees will be selected by our Jury from the multihulls launched (in the water) between the 2026 and 2027 editions of the Miami International Boat Show.
