Brunswick Corporation has taken 15 Boating Industry magazine Top Product Awards for 2026, the most the company has received in a single year. The total spans 13 different Brunswick brands across boats, propulsion, vessel control and marine electronics.
The awards, published in the May 2026 edition of Boating Industry, recognise what the magazine describes as the marine industry’s best new and innovative products.
Brunswick CEO Dave Foulkes said:
Winning 15 Top Product Awards across our Boat Group, Mercury Marine, Flite and Navico Group is a milestone for Brunswick. More meaningfully, it reflects what’s possible when an enterprise of our scale prioritises the consumer experience at every level. From autonomous helm technology and keyless propulsion to category-defining boats and next-generation sonars, every product on this list was designed to enhance the boating experience. The credit goes to the engineers, designers, and product teams whose work continues to set the pace for our industry.
