THE USSA AND ITS MISSIONPROMOTING AND SUPPORTING THE U.S. SUPERYACHT INDUSTRY AND ITS MEMBERS WORLDWIDE THROUGH ADVOCACY, MARKETING & EDUCATION.
WHAT IS THE U.S. SUPERYACHT ASSOCIATION (USSA)?The U.S. Superyacht Association (USSA) is a non-profit trade association whose
newly amended mission is to “Promote and support the U.S. Superyacht industry
and its members worldwide through advocacy, marketing and education.” The USSA
is made up of a variety of businesses across the United States and around the world
that represent thousands of jobs and a tremendous economic impact on our economy.
WHY JOIN THE USSA?1. ADVOCACY: Together we DO make a difference. We need YOUR voice. The
USSA employs a lobbyist in Washington DC, but it is through the strength
of our Membership that we are able to make our voices heard and affect
positive change for our industry.
2. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Educational and interactional programs
designed for personal and business growth are held at the regional and
national levels.
3. NETWORKING: We all know that in life it is not what you know…but who you
know that makes the difference. Strengthen your ties and interact with peers
in the superyacht industry at regional and national events.
4. MARKETING: Get your company noticed through print, web and social media
portals. The Come Sea U.S. Campaign works to bring more of the global
superyachts to visit the U.S. and our members.
WHAT ARE THE USSA OBJECTIVES?• To promote members’ products and services
through global representation and networking
• To advance the superyacht industry in the U.S.
• To serve as a coordinated advocate on major
issues affecting the industry
HOW DID THE USSA GET STARTED?The USSA was formed in 2006 in direct response
to the lack of a unified voice in the United States
for the unique needs of the large yacht segment
of the marine industry. Over the years, the 12
charter members have worked to grow the USSA
to represent the superyacht industry in more than
23 states and 19 foreign countries.

Charles Ernst, President, Dockside Corporate Services
The USSA is of tremendous value to me, enabling me to meet more members of our industry and to strengthen the relationships I already enjoy. Equally important, the USSA serves as a respected voice in Washington on behalf of the industry as well as yacht owners and their crew, beating the drum on key issues that might ordinarily go unnoticed. I’ve seen this influence first-hand, able to add my own voice, and that of my readers, to the chorus, too.
