Personal Insurance

Yacht Insurance

In today’s coastal landscape—where marine technology and luxury craftsmanship have reached new heights—Yacht Insurance is more than a regulatory checkbox. It’s a critical safeguard for a significant maritime investment.

Designed for vessels typically 27 feet and longer, yacht insurance often provides an “all-risk” framework to protect your hull, high-end electronics, and personal liability on the water.

We partner with premier marine underwriters to help you navigate specialized coverage options—including storm protection and environmental spill liability—so you can enjoy the water with confidence.

The Strategic Value of Yacht Insurance

A specialized yacht policy offers advantages that standard boat insurance typically can’t match:

  • Agreed Value Protection:
    Many yacht policies are written on an agreed value basis. In a total loss, the policy can reimburse the documented amount (rather than depreciated actual cash value), helping protect your financial equity.
  • Comprehensive Liability & Environmental Shielding:
    Larger vessels carry unique risks—from fuel spill cleanup to potential crew-related exposures. High-limit liability options help shield personal assets from the costs of serious marine accidents or environmental damage.
  • Expansive Navigational Flexibility:
    Whether you cruise the Gulf Coast or travel internationally, coverage can be tailored to navigational territories and seasonal lay-up periods when the vessel is stored.
  • Salvage and Wreck Removal:
    Marine salvage can be extremely expensive—sometimes exceeding the value of the vessel itself. Quality yacht coverage often includes salvage and wreck removal provisions to help ensure professional recovery doesn’t create a financial crisis.
