What is Icomia?
ICOMIA represents the voice of the recreational Boating Industry worldwide All members of the boating industry who belong to their national boating industry federations are actively represented, providing that their national federations are ICOMIA members. No less than 26 national federations are full members of ICOMIA. This membership includes all the major industrialised countries from Europe, the Western and Southern hemispheres and Japan.

Thus virtually all major boatbuilders, sailmakers, marine engine manufacturers, accessory makers and marine operators around the world can have a say in ICOMIA’s policy decisions. ICOMIA - the International Council of Marine Industry Associations - presents a strong and united voice in representing the industry’s best interests when dealing with international authorities and their major organisations.

ICOMIA’s objectives are to provide a forum for the exchange of views between the different national marine industry associations. To produce internationally agreed standards to ensure high quality and safety of the industry’s products. To remove all barriers to trade, wherever they may exist. To promote boating and to give guidelines where appropriate.

ICOMIA represents an agreed international industry opinion on environmental matters related to boating and seeks to minimise any adverse effects of boating on the marine environment. Specifically, ICOMIA seeks to ensure that pollution resulting from sound or exhaust emissions from recreational boats is kept to the absolute minimum.

With the help of its members throughout the world and in conjunction with the appropriate boating user associations, ICOMIA acts internationally on behalf of all those concerned for the boating industry’s continued success and the public’s ability to enjoy boating at all levels in a clean environment.
