Flying Dutchman Association

The Flying Dutchman Association (FDA) is a unique voluntary organization founded by experienced sailing professionals, originally in 2014. Its goal is to promote high standards of safety, integrity, and professionalism within the yachting industry. Members, often yacht captains, crew, and industry experts, collaborate to develop and maintain best practices, share knowledge, and ensure safe, ethical operations at sea. By fostering a community focused on continuous improvement, the FDA aims to elevate industry standards and enhance trust among clients, crew, and shipowners.
