The PYA publishes a monthly column in The Islander Magazine.
Since 1997 The Islander has been the only free, English language, monthly yachting magazine in the Western Med. The Islander magazine will celebrate its 20th birthday early in 2017, showing how it has stood the test of time. The magazine has grown from 36 pages to 136 pages and now includes much more content specifically aimed at the crew, including training, legislation and career news.
"I will continue to tell my friends about the PYA. You have been a fabulous support, and I would highly recommend anyone joining the yachting industry to sign up."
"As a 30 year yacht veteran, I have relied mostly on the idea of 'it's a who you know' industry, but as the constantly changing certification & litigation requirements become more complex, there is no doubt that the excellent service & support the PYA offers to every level of crew member makes membership an absolute must have! When my crew need support & correct advice, I always refer them to the PYA."
