Last week was quite a week for Megayacht News: first the announcement of the syndication deal with YachtWorld.com and Boats.com, and now an award for best Web site.
On Friday, Boating Writers International, the nonprofit organization consisting of communications specialists covering the boating industry, awarded third place to Megayacht News for Original Online Content. The category was among 16 others in the 2009 Boating Writers International Writing Contest, all judged by a jury of journalistic peers. Equally significant, this marked the category’s debut, in recognition of the ever-changing media landscape.
I’m thrilled with the award, and as strange as this may sound, I really couldn’t have lost to two more informed, hard-working journalists in this business: Bill Sisson of SoundingsOnline, who received second place; and Kim Kavin of CharterWave, who received first.
