Prizes were also awarded for the following categories:

Most Artistic Napkin Fold, Top Creative Centerpiece. Stylish Menu Design, Best Beverage Presentation and Tip of the Day. 

 

 

Here are the highlights!

We began on the north docks with our first entrant. Chief Stew Nicolina Stojicic, Kimberly Laplanie & Jana Martinkova, from M/Y Cheers 46, showcased a "Luxe Masquerade" theme.  Outfitted with a black-tie tuxedo napkin fold, brilliant accents and hibiscus-infused champagne, this is a vivacious, effortlessly stylish night to remember with no detail overlooked.

Chief Stew Agnese Bosevica & Tracie Chandler from M/Y BW created a rustic Country French style-setting that included a whimsical asparagus and floral centerpiece offset in lavender tones. The bar was a showpiece in itself, adorned with perfectly crafted refreshing cocktails. 

M/Y Take 5’s top deck design was a nautical homage to ultra-chic Nikki Beach St. Barth. The interior sparkled with effortless elegance, from the lighting to the radiant walls. On the upper deck, Chief Stew Sarah Jackson and Stephanie Player surprised us with a stunning presentation of autumn-inspired smoked Apple Pumpkin Cider and Creamy Pumpkin martinis served in delicate, brandy pipe glasses.
