On Saturday evening, January 17, 2026, during the official ceremony held within the framework of the Boot D\u00fcsseldorf boat show, the Sasga Menorqu\u00edn 48 FB was announced as the winner of the European Powerboat of the Year 2026 in the category of motor yachts up to 18 meters in length. This is one of the most prestigious recognitions in the European nautical sector, awarded after a thorough and comparative technical evaluation process.<\/p>\n

The European Yacht & Powerboat of the Year Awards have been organized for more than two decades by a consortium of leading European nautical magazines. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that the decision is not based on popular voting or commercial criteria, but on the professional judgment of a jury composed exclusively of top-level specialized journalists.<\/p>\n

\"Detail<\/p>\n

A category of the highest international level<\/h2>\n

In this edition, Sasga Yachts competed with the Menorqu\u00edn 48 FB in one of the most demanding categories of the awards: motor yachts up to 18 meters. Alongside the Sasga model, top-tier boats such as the Fjord 490 Open, the SAY 52, the Itama 54 and the Invictus TT550 were nominated.<\/p>\n

The jury\u2019s decision and technical assessments<\/h2>\n

The jury decided to award the Sasga Menorqu\u00edn 48 FB, highlighting its overall balance and its ability to reinterpret Mediterranean tradition from a contemporary and fully functional perspective.<\/p>\n

Diego Yriarte (N\u00e1utica y Yates, Spain): \u00abThe Menorqu\u00edn 48 from Menorca combines the tradition of the Mediterranean lla\u00fct with modern shipbuilding technology.\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Built in Menorca, it combines classical heritage with modern technology. Its refined semi-displacement hull, solid construction and handcrafted interiors focus on one thing above all: slowing down and enjoying quality time on the water.<\/p>\n

Deceleration can be experienced\u2014and even purchased. With the Sasga Menorqu\u00edn 48 in its Flybridge version, the characteristic motor yacht design of the small Balearic island is brought into the present, combining modern technology with a heritage rooted in traditional working boats.<\/p>\n

\"Award<\/p>\n

The award was received on stage by Jos\u00e9 Luis Sastre, founder of Sasga, on behalf of the entire shipyard team. In his speech, Sastre emphasized the collective nature of the recognition and the company\u2019s way of working.<\/p>\n

A recognition for a way of building yachts<\/h2>\n

The European Powerboat of the Year 2026 award for the Sasga Menorqu\u00edn 48 FB is not just a one-off success, but a confirmation of the Menorcan shipyard\u2019s positioning on the international nautical scene. From Menorca to D\u00fcsseldorf, the Menorqu\u00edn 48 FB has demonstrated that well-understood tradition, supported by proven technology and solid navigation criteria, still holds a prominent place among the best boats in the world.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
