Howden Fastnet (formerly Fastnet Marine Insurance Services Ltd.) is a specialist yacht insurance broker, based in Southampton, enjoying a close relationship with Cockwells as sponsors of the 2023 Cockwells owners’ Rally.

Owning a Duchy or a Hardy is different to owning other boats, but at Howden Fastnet, we understand this difference, and we therefore know how important it is to have the right insurance in place for our treasured possession.
