The Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB) certification is THE mark of excellence for yacht sales professionals throughout North America. CPYB brokers have met professional qualifications and have successfully passed a three-hour examination, testing their skills and knowledge as yacht sales professionals. YBAA collaborates with other industry leaders on this program: British Columbia Yacht Brokers Association (BCYBA), Boating Ontario, California Yacht Brokers Association (CYBA), International Yacht Brokers Association (IYBA), and Northwestern Yacht Brokers Association (NYBA).
