Abstract This paper reviews honeycomb sandwich panels as an alternative to traditional materials used in leisure boat hulls. Honeycomb sandwich panels have been widely researched and developed in various engineering fields. In the research and development of honeycomb sandwich panels, several notable advantages are evident, including flexibility in composition, a lightweight structure, high stiffness, and good energy absorption capabilities. When using hull construction materials, various types of damage are encountered, including cracks, deformation, and fatigue. Therefore, the material review must evaluate the honeycomb sandwich's mechanical properties and strength with impact damage and bending loading. The evaluation and review provide insights into the suitability and durability of honeycomb sandwich panels as innovative materials for hull construction in leisure boats. © 2026 The Authors.
