Association
Meet MAYA's founding members
MAYA's foundations were shaped by industry practitioners working across yacht agency, maritime coordination and visitor support.
MAYA was built by people already doing the work: handling yacht arrivals, coordinating with authorities, and supporting visiting vessels and their crews in the Maldives.
Six practitioners and their organisations are recorded among the association's founding membership:
- Mohamed Nasheed, Island Sailors Pvt Ltd
- Mohamed Hameed, Antrac Holding Pvt Ltd
- Mohamed Riyaz, Lets Go Maldives Pvt Ltd
- Abdulla Shaheer, Sunrise Maldives Pvt Ltd
- Abdulla Jaleel, Allianza Pvt Ltd
- Mohamed Naushad, Nooranmaa Travels Pvt Ltd
A note on roles
MAYA's earlier association records list officer roles including President, Vice President and Treasurer among this group. Those are historical records of the association's earlier period. Current officer roles are published only once MAYA confirms them, so no current leadership title should be inferred here.
Organisation records for these companies are held in the member directory under the yachting sector.
