About This Course

Why the AML Luxury Yachting Industry Master was born

The adoption of the new AML Package – and, in particular, of Directive (EU) 2024/1640 and Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 – has led to a significant expansion of Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) obligations, involving sectors that until now had not been directly subject to the legislation.

Specifically, all economic operators engaged in the sale, brokerage, or rental of high-value luxury goods have been identified as new obligated entities. This includes those who trade, as a regular or primary professional activity, in yachts valued at €7,5 million or more.

These entities are now required to comply with the same obligations as banks, financial intermediaries and other operators subject to AML/CFT regulations, including:

Customer Identity Verification (KYC)
Risk assessment and management
Reporting suspicious transactions
⁠ ⁠Adoption of internal procedures and staff training

The AML Luxury Yachting Industry Master's program was created to meet this new need, offering comprehensive and specialized training for professionals working in the pleasure boating and high-value assets sector, helping them effectively implement the measures required by the legislation.

A highly specialized training program that combines fundamental AML/CFT skills with a specific focus on the Luxury & High-Value Assets sectors.
