ABYA: THE MARINE PROFESSIONALS

ABYA is a professional association for yacht brokers, dealers and agents, with over 150 members in the UK and abroad. Members sell new and second-hand boats from day boats to superyachts, and are all experienced professionals – many have also attended the intensive, industry-leading ABYA Practical Yacht Brokerage course, and all are required to keep their skills and knowledge up to date with Continuous Professional Development (CPD).

Whether you're thinking of buying or selling a boat, it makes sense to talk to an ABYA member:

• For the security of both buyer and seller, ABYA members are required to set up a client account with their bank that holds client monies in trust and does not form part of the broker's own accounts.
• ABYA provides standard documents for the sale/purchase and listing of boats.
• ABYA members hold Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance.
• ABYA members work to the ABYA Code of Practice.
• ABYA operates a Customs Warehousing Scheme allowing brokers to offer ex-VAT boats for sale in the UK.
