What is specialist insurance?

The more ambitious your plans, 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 consider the range of territories and the timeframe 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.
