ABYA has always stood for the highest standards and therefore the attainment of Membership is seen as ‘The Gold Standard’ in the marine industry.

The key focus of the ABYA is to support Members so they can provide services of the highest standards to clients in the buying and selling of boats.

Our Members are independent brokers from across the globe.

ABYA Members are assessed before acceptance into Membership to ensure they understand the principles of yacht brokerage and the legal requirements for the proper transfer of title from seller to buyer.

Once in membership, Members are required to maintain their legal and technical knowledge and skills through our training events and a process of Continuous Professional Development.
