The finalists of the 2027 Motor Boat Awards have now been revealed. This year, three boat models manufactured by Finnmaster Boats Ltd are competing for these prestigious awards: the Grandezza 34 Outboard. the Finnmaster T9 T-Top and the Finnmaster Pilot 8.

The Motor Boat Awards are widely considered to be the Oscars of the boating world. That’s because every boat has to go through an exhaustive sea trial process just to be considered. It is the only way their judges can be certain that the finalists deliver on the water, as well as in the showroom.

Grandezza 34 Outboard is competing in the “Best Family Cruisers” category

“Grandezza builds its boats in-house across four facilities in Kokkola, Kalajoki, Rusko and Sammatti. That allows it to oversee most key stages of production internally and the quality of design and build reflects that. While there are of course elements of the conservative about it, this is a very classy and well put together boat. Traditionalists might still argue, with some justification, that the inboard model is the more convincing platform, but if you want a premium mid-range four-berth cruiser with outboard propulsion that looks great and drives a treat, this is undoubtedly a shortlist contender”, Motor Boat & Yachting summarises.
