This is an annual prize presented by LYBRA (the Large Yacht Brokers Association) and MYBA (The Worldwide Yachting Association) as a tribute to Richard Earp's gentlemanly conduct and integrity in dealing with colleagues and clients. Nominees are judged on their transparency, fair and ethical behaviour, charisma and style and must be well respected and still active in the superyacht industry.

Jonathan Beckett, CEO of Burgess and President of LYBRA commented, “Peter is greatly admired and highly respected by all those who have the good fortune to work with him whether as a client or as a fellow broker.”

The ISS (International Superyacht Society) was the Official Partner of The Richard Earp Award 2018 and ISS Board Member, Norma Trease, was present to congratulate Peter on behalf of Captain AJ Anderson, the current President.
