Additional Information and History
With the National Yacht Brokers Certification Program, boat sellers and buyers are now in a better position to select qualified, competent yacht brokers. The new National Yacht Broker Certification program is a joint effort of the Yacht Brokers Association of America (YBAA, Annapolis, MD), the Florida Yacht Brokers Association (FYBA, Ft. Lauderdale, FL) and the Northwest Yacht Brokers Association (NYBA, Seattle, WA). In development since 1999, the yacht broker certification project objective is to set a performance baseline for professional yacht brokers nationwide. A program 'Design Team' of volunteers from the three associations worked with the National Occupational Competency Testing Institute to define the industry Body of Knowledge, which lists the key areas of performance skills and knowledge required to be a professional yacht broker. The team then crafted a certification exam, comprised of 151 questions, designed to be an objective measurement of a broker's knowledge.
As in many other industries, performance standards, professional training and recognition are essential tools to encourage and maintain aggressive performance goals and sound business practices. YBAA, FYBA and NYBA each have had in place, for many years, association mandated codes of ethics which provide the minimum standards for ethical broker performance, and are mandatory for all brokers who desire membership in the organizations.
The Yacht Broker Certification Program takes this process to a new level, providing a comprehensive method for qualifying eligible brokers who have the necessary experience, skills and know-how to be recognized as a Certified Professional Yacht Broker—CPYB.
