The association
One association for two connected sectors.
MAYA brings yachting and cruise together within one industry association. It gives members a place to coordinate, engage with government and international industry, strengthen professional practice and support responsible sector development. MAYA's roots are in yacht agency and maritime coordination, and that experience now serves both sectors.
