BIA has recently become aware that well-known Whitsundays charter yacht fleet owner Annie Judd of Charter Yachts Australia, sadly passed away on 9 December 2023. BIA President Adam Smith and the BIA team extend their condolences to Annie's husband of 40 years, John Mol and all their team at CYA.

Annie and John took ownership of CYA in 2000 and became BIA members in Queensland the same year. Throughout the last 20+ years, Annie and John worked to make CYA one of the leading bareboat charter operators in Australia, sharing their passion for cruising the iconic Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef with thousands of sailors and holidaymakers from around the world.

Annie was very active in also working with BIA to help promote career opportunities in the local North Queensland marine industry and together with John was a strong voice for the charter boat industry via the Whitsunday Charter Boat Operators Industry Association.
