At the Professional Yachting Association (PYA), we believe that the safety and well-being of crew members is paramount.

Empowering Crew for a Safer Yachting Experience

The Professional Yachting Association's (PYA) Safety Group is dedicated to fostering a culture of safety and well-being for all crew members on board.

A Collaborative Platform for Safety

We provide a platform for Captains, Engineers, Deck Officers, DPAs, Managers, Insurers, Auditors, and Trainers to share knowledge and experiences. This collaborative approach allows us to:

• Identify emerging safety concerns and risks specific to the yachting industry.

• Collect and analyse data from industry professionals to generate actionable insights.

• Develop tailored safety guidance for crew members, promoting a learning, thriving, and safe living environment onboard.

Beyond Compliance: Sharing Best Practices

We go beyond the standard ISM Code by:

• Creating informative advisories and recommendations based on collective expertise.

• Filling gaps in existing safety regulations – addressing topics not fully covered.

• Enhancing existing standards by incorporating best practices learned from real-world yachting experiences.

Our Vision: A Culture of Well-being for All

Our mission extends beyond physical safety. We aim to:

• Reduce crew anxiety through proactive risk management and knowledge sharing.

• Promote healthier minds and bodies by fostering a supportive environment for crew well-being.

• Nurture leadership skills in all crew members, empowering them to prioritize safety and well-being for themselves and others.
