A late hectic flurry of voting has pushed one of our top ten to a big victory in our 13th annual competition.

The winner is The King & Queen in Hamble…yet again!! Our second two time winner...

Second place: The Crab Shell in Connecticut

Third place: The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club

Janet Bradley, the owner, in the last week of the competition:

"Thank you for a fabulous competition again! We’ve created a cocktail to celebrate and it’s going down a storm! Many thanks again for all you do to promote us Yachtie Bars the world over!"

And a further quote from Janet the day she was announced the winner:

"OMG!!!! I didn’t know it had finished …It’s such amazing news after such a tough time! We were still closed last week due to Covid!

My staff were so excited, they made different cocktails (the chosen one is delicious – great winter one! )…..and the QR code we put on the tables was a got everyone talking!\

Last evening we hosted a dinner/ team meeting for the RYA and another international yachting company (two separate events) and they all got on board using the QR codes so a lucky day for sure!!!

I’ll throw an impromptu staff party at 6 this evening and take some photos; they will be so pleased …I’ll call them in for a meeting!"

Look for the drink recipe in Friday's issue...
