At the Bulgarian Yachting Association, we are committed to supporting yacht owners, captains, and industry professionals with expert guidance across key areas of yacht management and operations. Our consultancy services are designed to provide comprehensive, practical, and forward-thinking solutions to navigate the complexities of the yachting industry.
We represent the interests of yacht owners, crew, shipyards, marinas, managers and all other industry stakeholders at the national and international level.
We tirelessly advocate for a safer, more innovative, and sustainable yachting industry—empowering our members and elevating Bulgaria’s reputation on the world stage.
Through our partnerships with leading academies and training providers, we offer world-class courses, certifications, and career guidance for maritime professionals.
At BYA, we believe that a thriving yachting industry starts with well-trained, supported crew. Our programs and services are designed to help every maritime professional reach their full potential—on board and beyond.
The Bulgarian Yachting Association is dedicated to elevating Bulgaria’s position in the global yachting sector by championing local businesses, supporting shipyards and marinas, and driving sustainable tourism. Through targeted initiatives, BYA empowers the entire value chain—from small service providers to large infrastructure projects—ensuring that Bulgarian yachting is synonymous with quality, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
BYA brings together yacht owners, crew, and various industry stakeholders to foster collaboration, share knowledge, and grow the yachting community in Bulgaria.
We organize regular meetups, seminars, and social events for members to connect, share experiences, and develop lasting relationships.
We also host annual yachting conferences and regattas, providing opportunities for both professional networking and leisure.
BYA is not only committed to environmental stewardship but also to advancing the blue economy - an economic model that supports sustainable use of ocean resources for growth, improved livelihoods, and jobs, while preserving the health of marine ecosystems.
