West Nautical are delighted to officially be a part of MYBA, The Worldwide Yachting Association.

MYBA is an internationally renowned professional organisation, founded in 1984, whose members are involved at all levels within the superyacht industry.

The association’s mission is to inspire, support and empower people in the superyacht industry to be their best: by maintaining business at the highest level of ethical conduct, committing to equality and diversity, protecting the environment, sharing knowledge, and combining strengths, building strong relationships, and continuously developing, both professionally and personally.

West Nautical’s sales and charter department have been using the MYBA agreements for many years, with several of their charter department registered as individual members of the association. They are therefore well versed in how the association regulates this sector of the industry.

As the yachting industry continues to grow, so does the need for safeguarding practices and professional excellence from everyone working at every level in the superyacht industry.

West Nautical’s clients can benefit from the MYBA membership by continuing to trust that they have a team of credible in-house experts booking charters and enabling sales using contracts and guidelines, which adhere to each, and every regulation outlined by MYBA.

Clients also benefit from the fact that yacht charter rates are based on MYBA terms, meaning that the yacht charter fee is standardised based on factors established by the MYBA, ensuring that clients are paying a fair charter fee for their selected yacht.

Charter clients can rest assured that they will meet the yacht in full commission and with all the necessary equipment, properly insured for marine risks and managed by a team of reputable crew and shore side personnel.

The MYBA only endorses membership to companies with a proven track record of professional excellence in the yachting industry, thereby offering valuable benefits and safeguarding to a client choosing to purchase, sell, build or charter a yacht through a MYBA member organisation.

Geoff Moore, West Nautical’s Managing Director said “I am delighted to finally have the recognition of the company joining MYBA. Our application has been delayed during the COVID restrictions, but we are finally ‘part of the club’ and are glad that our high standards of operating are recognised.”

West Nautical believe in working to the utmost ethical and technical standards, making their mission and vision in line with MYBA.
