Now Open for Entries: The Crestron Marine Technology Awards 2025
A call for entries for this year’s best Crestron yacht integrations in four categories
January 14
Music For Business

When we rolled out the Crestron Marine Technology Awards last year, we knew the entries would be remarkable — but the winning projects represented whole-vessel solutions that truly defined “next-level” integrations.

They have to be, as the challenges that marine integrators face go well beyond moisture and motion — two elements that already aren’t kind to electronic systems. As we noted when we announced the winners of the 2024 awards:

The work’s done in small spaces. Controls need to be intuitive for both owners and guests. Projects often extend beyond lighting and AV and into critical functions of a vessel. Systems need to be exceptionally reliable — while some members of the crew are trained in troubleshooting, it’s obviously impossible to roll a truck to the middle of the ocean. And clientele in this segment can be some of the most demanding in the world.

Marine projects require a skill set that’s as broad as it is deep — integrators often need to be as well-versed in hospitality and commercial solutions as they are in residential systems, in addition to the technologies that are specific to yachts and superyachts. They need to work with designers, shipyard staff, and, of course, the customer.

We want to continue recognizing the excellence of our marine integrators in 2025 — and that’s why we’re continuing the program with a call for entries for the Crestron Marine Technology Awards 2025. It’s an honor that tells both clients and shipyards that you’re doing work that’s genuinely defined as “best in class.”

The Crestron Marine Technology Awards 2025 are now open for entries.

The Categories

Much like last year, Creston’s honoring projects in four categories for the 2025 Marine Awards:

  • Ultimate Yacht Installation Above 60 Meters — Given the wide variety of vessels that are eligible for an award, Crestron split the “Ultimate Yacht” category by size. The larger of the two “Ultimate Yacht” categories was created to recognize the world's largest superyachts powered by Crestron technology. The owners of these yachts demand the absolute best from every craftsperson and technician involved in the project, often with little regard for expense. Both Ultimate Yacht Installation awards honor whole-vessel Crestron Marine integrations that bring a seamless, frictionless experience to everyone on board who touches the technology.
  • Ultimate Yacht Installation Below 60 Meters — The smaller of the two Ultimate Yacht Installation honors includes the same judging parameters as its larger cousin — and further recognizes the challenges that more limited space presents.
  • Best Design Meets Technology Award — This honor considers the marriage of a ship’s unique aesthetic and the solutions aboard that vessel: How does the technology blend in? How does it simply disappear where it needs to? How does it enhance the space with lighting or specific display functions? The winning project will demonstrate how tech can complement the design of a space, creating a cohesive experience.
  • Best Entertainment Everywhere Solution — Marine integrations require AV solutions that are available in both social areas and private cabins, from movies to music to sporting events. The winner in this category will have best answered these questions: How is that content delivered? How easy is it to get the media you are looking for to play in any given space? And what kind of quality entertainment experience is delivered to each destination, from dedicated theaters to multi-room audio and video, or from a full nightclub to an outdoor cinema?

The Details

For the 2025 awards, Crestron will consider any project completed between January 1, 2024, and February 1, 2025. The deadline for entries is February 21, 2025, at 1:00 P.M. EST.

The projects will be judged by Crestron on their overall quality, uniqueness, customer satisfaction, the look and feel of the installation, and how it solved the overall challenges presented by a particular vessel. Crestron will announce the winners at the Superyacht Technology Show Gala during a live event on March 18, 2025, in Barcelona. Daniel Kerkhof, director of Crestron Marine, is looking forward to that event. “I’m very excited about the opportunity to connect again in person in Barcelona,” he says. “As we know, collaboration is key to a successful project in the yachting industry, and I’m thrilled that this year's Gala Dinner will be even bigger and better than last year, providing a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the exceptional work that has been done by our dealers and partners over the past year.”

Like last year, the winner of each category will be awarded a trophy, a profile by Crestron on our website, and — if the owner is amenable — inclusion as a case study on the Crestron site. If they desire, our winners will have ample opportunity (and support) to use the honor as a marketing tool via those avenues and our social media channels as well.

Crestron solutions are noted for their adaptability, toughness, and reliability — all while contributing to the elegant aesthetic demanded in a superyacht project. With their timeless look and feel, Crestron products can live in the forefront or be hidden away in the background.

That is, of course, a part of what Crestron Marine dealers do: Provide solutions and adapt them to a given vessel — and the most demanding customers — perfectly. Technology integration really is a kind of practical magic — and that’s especially true on the water.

And that’s why we want to honor our Crestron Marine magicians.

Submit your project today. We can’t wait to see the work you’ve been doing.
