Yacht insurance broking · Southampton, placing at Lloyd's and in the company market
Every policy on the market looks similar until something happens. The differences are in the navigation limits, the crew warranty and what counts as wear — three clauses that decide whether a claim is paid, and none of which appear on a comparison table.
What we cover
Nothing matches that search. to see everything.
Indicative premium
Premium is driven by the sum insured, where she goes and who is aboard. This gives an annual figure for hull and liability together, before any survey discount or claims history.
How we work
One page, plain English, sent before the premium. If a policy will not cover single-handed passages or leaves the vessel uninsured east of Malta in December, you should know that while choosing rather than afterwards.
Market value policies are cheaper and settle a total loss at whatever a loss adjuster thinks she was worth. We will place one if you insist, and we will put the difference in writing first.
They already have the survey, the schedule and the photographs. Every month a claim spends being re-explained to somebody new is a month the boat is not repaired.
Renewing with the incumbent is sometimes the right answer, particularly mid-claim. Moving a policy for a small saving while a claim is open is how people lose both.
“Cheapest quote I had excluded single-handed passages, which is most of my sailing, and nobody else mentioned it. They sent a one-page summary of what each policy would not pay for. It cost me four hundred pounds more and it is the right policy.”
