Garmin has been named NMEA Manufacturer of the Year for the 12th consecutive year and collected six additional Product of Excellence awards.

Garmin has been named Manufacturer of the Year by the National Marine Electronics Association for the 12th consecutive year, extending a run that reflects sustained recognition from dealers, installers and marine electronics professionals.

Six Product of Excellence awards

Alongside the manufacturer award, Garmin received six NMEA Product of Excellence honours across key marine electronics categories. The awards are determined by industry professionals who work directly with the equipment in installation, sales and service environments.

For yacht owners, captains and shipyards, the results reinforce Garmin’s position across integrated navigation, communications and onboard electronics systems.

A broad marine electronics footprint

Garmin’s marine portfolio spans chartplotters, radar, sonar, autopilots, instruments, communications and connected vessel systems. The company has continued to expand this ecosystem through product development and acquisitions, while maintaining compatibility across a wide range of vessel sizes.

Repeated recognition from the NMEA is particularly relevant in the superyacht supply chain because installers and service specialists play a central role in long-term system reliability and refit support.
