Specialized expertise

Protecting your vessel and its contents is only the beginning, because yacht owners also face numerous insurance considerations, including crew, chartering, navigation limits, and warranties and contractual liability.

Customized recommendations

We start by learning about you, your yacht, and your unique circumstances. Then we conduct an in-depth analysis and present a customized insurance  recommendation to address your specific exposures. We make sure you have all the information concerning your program to make an informed decision.

Extraordinary client advocacy

Not only do our dedicated personal risk advisors have an in-depth knowledge of yachts and yacht insurance, we also have long-standing relationships with the people who build, sell, and service them. This means we can offer better risk analysis, creative solutions, personal attention, and fast responses to even the most uncommon requests. We are your advocate, working as a trusted advisor to create the best solution for your yacht and your maritime plans.

Client advocacy in action

Stolen GPS signals deductible debate

Working with an experienced broker can make a big difference in the event of a claim. An electronic GPS navigational system was stolen from aboard a client’s 60’ yacht while it was in a marina. The policy had three different deductibles for hull, theft, and electronics. The carrier initially applied the highest deductible, which was $10,000.

 

The solution

After reviewing the entire policy contract, our dedicated Yacht Claims Manager challenged the carrier and advocated on the client’s behalf, reducing the client's responsibility to a single deductible of $500.
