Oceania

Oceania’s seafaring spirit runs deeper than the tides - from the traditional canoe builders of Fiji and Samoa to the innovative shipyards of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, craftsmanship and connection to the ocean define this vast region. Generations have shaped vessels not only for trade and travel but as expressions of identity, culture, and mastery over the sea.

Today, that heritage thrives anew - blending ancestral boatbuilding wisdom with modern engineering, sustainable materials, and contemporary design. Across Oceania, marinas, yacht builders, and marine engineers are redefining island innovation while preserving the authenticity that has always set these shores apart.

This category showcases the best of Oceania’s maritime excellence - from bespoke yachts and refit services to world-class marina destinations. Here, the ocean isn’t just a frontier. It’s a way of life - and every vessel tells a story written in salt, skill, and spirit.
