ABYC = American Boat and Yacht Council. Established in 1954 in response to a boom in recreational boat building, The ABYC is a non-profit, member organization that develops voluntary global safety standards for the design, construction, maintenance, and repair of recreational boats. The role of the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) is to be the essential source of technical information for the international marine industry. They develop product safety standards, credentialing, education, training, and other tools to equip their
members to be successful. Everything they do is to support the members to achieve the goal of making boating safer.
