WHAT WE THINK
In the yachting industry we are attending the development of new companies which have little experience and no real training in yacht charter and brokerage. So, non-MYBA Members may not be as familiar with the yachts proposed.
Moreover, there are many yacht associations around the world, but MYBA is the most recognized and the hardest to get into. If your broker is a MYBA member, there is a very high chance you are dealing with best in class company.
