Dear CYBA Members,
Our community’s collective reach is one of the greatest benefits of belonging to the California Yacht Brokers Association. As digital networking becomes an increasingly vital part of brokerage success, we want to ensure every member knows how to get the maximum visibility for their listings while helping us maintain a clean, organized, and professional online presence.
To help clear up any confusion around our social media platforms, here is a quick guide on the difference between the Official CYBA Facebook Page and the CYBA Facebook Group, along with where your boat listings should be posted.
📢 Official CYBA Facebook Page: For Association Announcements & Public Outreach.
The official CYBA Facebook Page serves as the public face of our association. It is where prospective buyers, industry partners, regulatory bodies, and the general public come to learn about our mission, events, educational programs, and industry standards.
- What goes here: Official association news, legislative updates, event announcements (like our Annual Dinner or educational seminars), and high-level industry updates.
- Listing Policy: Please refrain from posting broker listings on the official CYBA Page. Keeping this page reserved for administrative and educational news maintains a consistent professional broadcast channel for the association as a whole.
🤝 CYBA Facebook Group: The Place to Post & Share Your Listings!
We built our dedicated Facebook Group specifically for peer-to-peer networking, active discussions, and listing exposure across our network. This interactive environment is designed for back-and-forth engagement among brokers, industry affiliates, and maritime professionals.
- What goes here: Your boat listings! Price reductions, open houses, co-brokerage opportunities, industry questions, and member-to-member discussions.
- Why use it: The Group format allows post interactions, comments, tag notifications, and direct messaging, making it far easier to collaborate with fellow CYBA brokers and move inventory faster.
