Testimonials

What our members say...

PVA provides the representation we need.

One of the greatest qualities of PVA is how they very effectively represent the interests of the passenger vessel industry in Washington D.C. by working with Congress, the Coast Guard and other federal regulatory agencies.

When you want to build relationships...

with the key owners and operators in the passenger vessel industry, membership in PVA is the only answer.

PVA has saved my company many thousands of dollars.

By developing tools and programs we use directly in our business, we've saved so much money. Without these PVA tools I would have had the stressful and expensive step of starting from scratch!

The convention exceeded our expectations accross the board.

The openness of the members and their willingness to share information was incredible. -Doug and Diane of Wilmington Water Tours
