Our mission

We will foster sustainable and inclusive people, places and communities who are empowered to develop themselves, support others, celebrate successes and share the enjoyment of boating in Scotland.

Our purpose

To promote and protect safe, successful and rewarding boating in Scotland.

The Royal Yachting Association Scotland (RYA Scotland) is the recognised Scottish Governing Body for all forms of recreational, competitive and professional boating. It is a separately constituted Home Country Association of the Royal Yachting Association (RYA).

We represent the interests of Scotland’s diverse boating community including dinghy and yacht racing, windsurfing, motor and sail cruising, RIBs and sports boats, inland cruising and personal watercraft. Boating takes place in a variety of locations – from inland waterways, reservoirs and lochs to rivers, estuaries, coastal areas and oceans.

The RYA is also a membership organisation with over 100,000 members across the UK, including individuals, families and affiliated clubs and recognised training centres.
