About MAYA

One association for two connected sectors.

MAYA brings together yachting and cruise within a shared industry platform focused on representation, professional standards, collaboration and responsible development.

Roots

Experience carried into a shared platform.

MAYA's roots are in yacht agency and maritime coordination. Today that experience forms part of an association serving the advancement of both yachting and cruise.

Two sectors within one association.

Yachting

Agents and operators supporting visiting yachts.

Cruise

Organisations working across cruise calls and coordination.

Each sector has its own operating reality. Both work within the same association platform and the same mandate.

Founding members

The people behind MAYA's early foundation.

MAYA was built by industry practitioners with direct experience in yacht agency, maritime coordination and visitor support in the Maldives.
