The NMMA is now accepting nominations for the 2025 Hall of Fame Award, the Association’s most prestigious honor. This annual award recognizes individuals whose outstanding contributions have had—and continue to have—a significant and lasting impact on the recreational boating industry.

In an industry driven by innovation, passion, and resilience, strong leadership plays a critical role in shaping its future. The Hall of Fame Award honors the visionaries and trailblazers whose dedication has not only advanced marine manufacturing but also inspired progress and excellence across the entire recreational boating community. Celebrating these individuals ensures their legacy lives on—and serves as a guiding example for future generations of industry leaders.

Eligible nominees are those whose career achievements exemplify the highest level of commitment and service to the industry. Their influence can be seen in the evolution of our products, the strength of our businesses, and the growing vitality of boating culture.

The 2025 Hall of Fame Award will be presented during the IBEX Industry Breakfast in Tampa, FL.
