OUR MISSION
Connecting Policy, Infrastructure, and Investment to Build the GBA's Premier Yachting Ecosystem
GBAYCIA executes this mission by serving as the critical nexus between government bodies, infrastructure developers, and global capital. We translate policy into commercially viable projects, guide the development of world-class marinas, and facilitate the strategic investments that fuel sustainable growth. This unique, integrated approach ensures the GBA’s yachting ecosystem is built on a foundation of expertise, opportunity, and long-term vision.

Our Vision
The Greater Bay Area Yacht & Cruise Industry Association (GBAYCIA) is the professional organisation uniting the key stakeholders of the GBA's maritime economy. Our mission is to connect policy, infrastructure, and investment to build the region's premier yachting ecosystem. We achieve this by fostering collaboration between government and the private sector, championing sustainable innovation, and establishing global best practices.
All GBAYCIA members possess a proven track record of professional excellence and are involved at the highest levels of the superyacht industry. Our membership includes the architects of Hong Kong's most prestigious marinas, former chief regulators from the Marine Department, and the leadership of globally recognized luxury brands. GBAYCIA provides the exclusive platform that unites these leaders, enabling them to shape policy and drive the industry forward with a unified voice.
