Not just motoryacht insurance

Crossing oceans, chasing trophies or just cruising the coasts, we tailor motoryacht insurance to match your ambitions and your vessel.

Hull and liability insurance is a fundamental part of any comprehensive insurance policy. This type of marine insurance protects the physical hull of your vessel as well as critical onboard systems and machinery, including engines, electronics, and navigation equipment.

Our Hull and liability insurance covers:

Collision and impact damage

Fire, explosion and sinking

Storm and weather-related damage

Theft and vandalism

Mechanical or engine breakdowns (subject to policy terms)

Whether your motoryacht is berthed, in transit, or sailing across oceans, Hull and Liability insurance ensures you’re financially protected against major risks.

What is specialist insurance?

The more complex your circumstances, the more likely you are to need insurance that’s negotiated and tailored to your precise needs.

For example, if you’re planning a Bluewater cruise around the world for several years, you will need specialist cover to take into account the range of territories and the time frame of your plans; or if you have an exceptionally valuable vessel that you want to charter, this might call for specialist cover.

In short, any risk that cannot be covered by an ‘off-the-shelf’ style policy from a standard broker or provider is likely to need the specialist attention and custom insurance we provide.
