PYA to launch Webinar on Yachting in the Bahamas with the BWA

30 October 2023

This November, the PYA will launch a webinar with the BWA to discuss important seafaring issues specific to the Bahamas and surrounding island communities.

The Bahamas is considered one of the world’s most seductive yachting destinations, offering more than 700 breath-taking islands and cays to explore, both for those seeking an adventurous yachting vacation or one of total seclusion.

“We are welcoming a host of guest speakers from across the yachting industry to take part in this important conversation on yachting in the Bahamas. Attendees will be able to learn about industry-specific issues by getting involved in this conversation and sharing various perspectives,” said Kim Llorente, Operations Manager for the PYA.

BWA Yachting is a worldwide yacht agency and yachting services provider set up to support captains, managers and crew - making their lives easier and assisting with the increasing demands of managing a modern superyacht. Their global office network stretches throughout the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Caribbean and the Americas, providing a unique and seamless experience, wherever clients are cruising.

We want to say a big thank you to BWA and all our guest speakers for supporting our latest webinar and taking part in this year’s discussion centred on the Bahamas.

Guest speakers

Daniel Persaud: Operations Manager at BWA Yachting Bahamas

Chrislyn Stubbs: crew member and operator of Palm Winds (shore support)

Jonathan Lord: Bahamas Tourism ambassador

Safwene Guilouchi: Captain M/Y Centurion

Statement from the Professional Yachting Association (PYA) regarding the tragic sinking of Bayesian

Antibes (France), 26 August 2024 - In light of the recent tragic sinking of the yacht Bayesian and loss of lives, we understand that many are deeply concerned and eager to know the details surrounding this unfortunate event. However, we urge everyone—media, the public, and all interested parties—to refrain from speculating on the causes, responsibilities, or circumstances until the official inquiry is concluded.

PYA Agents Network around the world

As the season begins and you embark on your global travels, we want to ensure that our PYA members have access to essential services. To facilitate this, we have enlisted a network of PYA Agents located around the world. These agents specialize in certifying original documents, helping you maintain accurate profiles and supporting your MCA applications.

A surge in unqualified crew with fake or purchased CoCs

The Professional Yachting Association (PYA) and the Italian Yacht Masters Association (IYM) sound the alarm on a hidden danger: a surge in unqualified crew with fake or purchased Certificates of Competence, which raises potential safety issues for crew, passengers, and vessels.

BWA Yachting

Yachting services provider

BWA Yachting is a worldwide yachting services provider established to support captains, managers and crew. We aim to make their lives easier, assisting with the increasing demands of managing a modern superyacht. Our global office network stretches throughout the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Caribbean and the Americas, providing a unique and seamless experience, wherever our clients are cruising.

BWA Yachting can assist with a broad range of services from planning a complicated, multi-country itinerary to just a single port call. We can cover everything from clearance procedures to berthing reservations, bunkering, provisioning, itinerary advice, logistics, technical assistance, travel arrangements, and many more. With central and local points of reference, a groundbreaking system developed in-house, that provides streamlined business workflows amongst our offices and enables seamless intercountry communication of your preferences, we plan to save you time and a whole lot of hassle.

We consider ourselves to be a people company-we prefer relationships to transactions, friendships over deals and building trusted partnerships with our clients from the very first meeting.

We are a dedicated yachting service provider; we don’t manage, sell or charter superyachts. We strive to deliver smart, reliable, transparent solutions to superyachts. Our offices will provide expert local knowledge in each port customising each client’s approach, looking after your entire trip; from pre-arrival and arrival to departure formalities, drawing upon the insight and capabilities that come from our unique global presence.

Essentially, we speak your language.

“BWA Yachting has always taken a long-term stance in the industry and we are delighted to join a foundation that shares the same principles and ethos,” said Paschalis Patsiokas, CEO of BWA Yachting.

BWA relocates Fort Lauderdale office

BWA Yachting relocated its Fort Lauderdale office from The Quay on 17th Street to Lauderdale Marine Center (LMC) this summer. The office is staffed by Mary Visser, managing director of Florida and Bahamas and Betsy Messenger, head of customer service for the region.

The global yacht agency offers vessel clearing, itinerary planning, transportation, provisioning, deliveries, local lifestyle information and more for captains, crew, owners, and guests.

“It’s easier for us to list what we don’t do,” Visser said during a tour of the facility in September. Although the company first opened its Fort Lauderdale office in 2007, the LMC location offers convenience for yachts in the area, she said. Visser worked for years as a stew and is an expert in the Bahamas.

“Mary works closely with captains,” said Laura Esteve, vice president of Americas for the company. “They’ll bring in their charts, and she can help with deep-draft navigation. She has created special itineraries for deep-draft vessels including pilotage for that area.”

Esteve is originally from Barcelona and is based in Barbados. She spearheaded yacht travel to the America’s Cup events last year in Bermuda and works closely with resources and facilities in the Caribbean.

The Fort Lauderdale office works closely with offices in West Palm Beach and Miami for vessels traveling in South Florida. Last October, BWA Yachting opened an office in Nassau at the John Alfred Dock ,which has 300 linear feet of dockage, Visser said.

BWA Yachting also has offices in the Mediterranean and Caribbean. For more information, visit bwayachting.com, email [email protected] , call +1 954-635-2653 or stop by the office at 2019 S.W. 20th St., Suite 103 (33315).
