OSCARS OF YACHT INDUSTRY

The Neptune awards are considered the “Oscars of the yacht industry.”   A beautiful evening ceremony took place at London’s historic Guildhall.  The distinguished guests attend the glittering gala .  For instance, over 500 yacht owners and naval architects.  Also included were designers, their families, and friends.  With this in mind, it was an amazing event.
