See How Companies Like Yours are Growing with CPYB

“As the president of the CYBA it is imperative that I have the highest credentials and qualifications. Being a CPYB keeps me up to date with laws, industry innovations and keeps me in-tune with the industry as a whole, both regionally and nationally. The resources are extraordinary and quite invaluable.”

George Sikich

Yacht Broker Kensington Yachts, CYBA

"The network of colleagues and peers I now call friends is a direct result of my dedication to becoming a CPYB. The continuing education requirement keeps me engaged and I became a member of the CAC (CPYB Certification Advisory Council) in 2019 to help promote the CPYB program." If you are considering becoming a CPYB, but not sure if it is worth your time, please call or email me directly and I’ll be happy to share my experience.

Jeff Merrill

President JMYS, CYBA

“I have always respected the CPYB guys in the industry and have always known they are a step above everyone else. They make a point to continue their education, evolving and growing with the times. People tend to pay more attention to you with the certification and it certainly helps to have the actual knowledge behind the letters."
