CPYB Certification:
Since 1999, the CPYB program has been the industry performance standard for yacht sales professionals— a mark of excellence for yacht brokers throughout North America. Yacht brokers who are CPYB certified have a benchmark for measuring their skills, abilities, and performance. All while enhancing their marketing value.

A Yacht Sales Professional is an individual who conforms to industry standards of skill, competence, and character in service to their clients. As a member of a recognized certified yacht broker trade association and through continuing education and compliance with established codes of ethics, a Yacht Sales Professional maintains their expertise throughout their professional career.
