ABYC announces Outstanding Technician Award winners

by National Marine Manufacturers Association 25 Apr 09:05 PDT April 20–24, 2026

The American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) announced the recipients of its 2026 Outstanding Technician Awards during International Marine Service Technician Week, held April 20-24. Sponsored by CWR Wholesale Distribution, the ABYC awards recognize 10 technicians for exceptional customer service, technical skill, training and mentorship. In addition, the New Achiever Awards recognize emerging professionals in the marine service industry who demonstrate strong potential and technical skill.

Now in its fifth year, the nominations were judged by a panel that included previous Outstanding Technician Award recipients.

"In reviewing the nominations, it was exciting to see such strong technical ability, along with a commitment to mentoring others," said Tim Murphy, education director at ABYC. "It was tough to narrow it down to 10 winners, and that really reflects the depth of the talent we have across the marine industry."
