Likewise, two judges of the Boat of the Year election handed over the Start-up Award 2020 at the office of Natural Yachts.


With a personal note on behalf of the jury: "The family business was founded in 2019 and focuses on the green trend of sustainable boating. Their mission is to enable boating without environmental impact. The company does this by offering and chartering modern yachts with innovative technology, with partly or fully electrically powered yachts and the possibility of producing green energy on board. Modern techniques such as a fuel cell range extender make the recreational water sport practitioner independent of shore power.
