The Yacht Owner's Representative Register

The Owner’s Representative Register is designed to connect qualified ORs with potential clients, fostering a more professional and transparent industry.

Hosted by The Superyacht Alliance, the Register was officially launched at The Superyacht Forum (TSF) in Amsterdam in November 2024.

The initiative was set up by the Superyacht Builders Association (SYBAss) in partnership with the International Association of Maritime Institutions (IAMI) and GUEST Program.

This is alongside training providers The Crew Academy, who deliver the Yacht Owner’s Representative Program (YORP) — the industry-recognised qualification providing specialist insight into the role of an OR.
