Favourite Boat in Show

Sponsored by

The Favourite Boat in Show award is a tradition of Crick Boat Show. The competition is sponsored by insurance company Haven Knox-Johnston. 

The winner is determined by a public vote that takes place during the show at the Haven Knox-Johnston marquee on the Quayside and an expert judging panel. Only completed boats are eligible for consideration. For 2026, there is one trophy for the overall most admired boat at the Show.

All voters are entered into a draw to win £100 M&S vouchers and voters can choose to also enter a draw to win a year's free boat insurance from Haven Knox-Johnston (T&C apply)

The winning boat is announced at Crick Boat Show in the afternoon of Monday 25 May and the prize draw takes place on 4 June 2026.
