PYA Run by yachting professionals, for yachting professionals, the PYA is the Voice of professional yacht crew worldwide.

Since its inception in 1991, PYA has continuously consulted with policy makers who are tasked with writing legislation affecting the construction, operation and manning of large yachts. Over the years PYA has participated in numerous working groups and steering committees to ensure that the point of view of those that actually work on board is known and understood.

🇪🇸 Marina Vela has received an Inward Processing Relief permit, allowing eligible non-EU flagged yachts with non-EU owners to temporarily import into Spain for refit, maintenance or spare parts installation without paying 21% VAT or customs duties. This strengthens Barcelona’s position as a key wintering and technical hub for superyachts.

On the 22nd April, the International Hydrographic Organization brought together delegates from 104 member states together with observers from international organisations such as the PYA, to share regional and international hydrograhic information and reports at it’s 4th assembly.

Hydrography is the science of measuring and mapping physical features of oceans, seas, coastal areas, and inland waters. It focuses on water depth, seafloor structure, tides, and currents to create nautical charts essential for safe navigation.

Could the yachts play a part in mapping the seabed?
