Yacht Insurance requires insight into multiple areas that make up the insurability of a yacht, the “risk”. Our multiple departments and inter-office expertise enable us to properly assess a yacht’s exposure. One must understand how a yacht is used, what regulations are in place, crew composition, the sales process and exhibitions as well as charter process and contracts. Our company works together to ensure we are up to date with any changes and evolvements that surround our yachts and our clients. Our vessels are all reviewed in their entirety by our team of experts as a proactive approach to ensure our clients protection.
Through our in-house team of experts we are always aligned with Flag State and Coast Guard authorities to ensure that a vessel’s documentation is up to date and in compliance with the latest laws and regulations.
