In 2019 Galeon Yachts received the Dealer Development Award at the Boat Builder Awards. This award is presented to individuals or teams who have generated significant growth of their boatbuilding business by expanding their distributor or dealer network, through export success, or by strengthening relationships with existing networks.

The Boat Builder Awards were initiated by METSTRADE, the world-leading platform for professionals in the leisure-marine-equipment industry, and International Boat Industry magazine (IBI) in 2015, to recognize the business achievements of leisure boat builders, as well as the teams and individuals that make them successful. It has since grown into a prestigious and widely recognized awards program.
