The American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) is committed to enhancing your boating experience by prioritizing safety and enjoyment on the water. By relying on an ABYC-certified technician for your repair needs, choosing manufacturers that comply with ABYC standards, and selecting surveyors who are well-versed in these guidelines, you’re taking important steps to ensure a safer and more reliable boating journey.

Boats using ABYC Standards are 43% to 47% less likely to have certain accidents and reduce fatality risks by 26% to 58% when compared to non-certified boats. ABYC standards not only decrease accident occurrences but also lessen their severity.

Trust ABYC to be your guiding compass in the world of boating.
