MYBA is a worldwide professional trade association founded in 1984 by a group of prominent yacht brokers with the aim of promoting standards of professionalism and ethics in the yachting industry throughout the Mediterranean, and ultimately, worldwide. Today, MYBA remains the only organisation in Europe with this focus and enjoys international standing in all corners of the globe.
Over the last decade in particular, yachting has evolved immeasurably and, as a result, MYBA has adopted an increasinly influential and significant role in an industry which has no regulatory body or ombudsman.
The membership of MYBA now constitutes over 50 major brokerages, not including all the branch offices in France, Monaco, Spain, Italy, Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Hong Kong, and the US. Their collective expertise spans over half a century and covers the sale, purchase, charter and management of substantial yachts, in addition to all other aspects of yachting such as new construction, project consultancy, MCA, ISM, crew recruitment, safety and manning.
MYBA only endorses membership to brokerages with a proven track record of professional excellence in the yachting industry, thereby offering valuable benefits and safeguards to clients choosing to purchase, sell, build or charter a yacht through a MYBA broker.
Over the next decade, MYBA's commitment is to continue to blaze the trail for setting the highest standards of professional expertise in international yacht commerce.
