Heyday Wake Boats, a division of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) was honored with an NMMA Innovation Award for the first time in brand history at the 2022 Miami International Boat Show. Heyday won the “Tow Boat” category for its newly introduced H22, which sets the standard for the next generation of performance, design and accessibility.

“On behalf of all of us at Heyday, we would like to thank the NMMA for this prestigious honor,” said Keisha Spicer, Strategy & Business Development Manager, Heyday Boats. “From initial concept to execution, the H22 brings together the most highly sought-after features in our standard package to create greater accessibility and increase participation in the wake boat segment. I am incredibly proud of our team for this well-deserved recognition and look forward to continuing to build on this momentum to deliver best-in-class experiences to our customers.” 

Initially launched in July 2021, the H22 offers more standard features from bow to stern compared to any other boat in its class. With a 14-person capacity, the H22 offers multi-configuration seating options and an innovative design to maximize every inch to make for a comfortable day on the water with 20 square feet of bow playpen space. 

Additionally, the H22 features Heyday’s signature hull purposefully designed to create a clean, powerful wake for boarding and surfing, but new shearlines and sculpting take the design to the next level. Multi-use and versatility were key themes of the design, including sliding seats to easily transform the seating configuration and some of the most innovative rear-facing transom seats on the market.  

Innovation award judges commented on the H22 stating: “The stern jump seats on the versatile and affordable Heyday H22 allow observers to get a ringside seat to view their friends’ in action.”

The Innovation Awards program, organized by NMMA and judged by Boating Writers International (BWI), honors manufacturers and suppliers who bring new, innovative products for the boating industry to market. The award acknowledges products that best meet criteria including innovative distinction from other products currently being manufactured, benefit to the marine industry and/or consumer, practicality, and cost-effectiveness. The judging committee is comprised of BWI members who perform product testing throughout the year and have expertise in marine products.
