Third-Party Liability

Third-party liability insurance is coverage aimed to protect you financially if your yacht causes damage to someone else’s property or injures another person. If you collide with another boat and cause damage, your insurance will cover the repair costs for the other vessel, up to the policy limits. If someone is injured on your yacht who isn’t a crew member, your insurance will cover your liabilities towards them. In the unfortunate event that someone dies due to an accident involving your yacht, your insurance can cover any associated legal costs and settlements.

Maritime Transportation

Don’t leave your vital spare parts unprotected. We offer insurance specifically designed for off-board storage containers holding your yacht’s workshop, tools, and critical spare parts. Our comprehensive policy protects against fire, theft, and damage to the stored goods.

Medical - Assistance - Repatriation

Having medical, assistance and repatriation insurance under your belt is undoubtedly a priority when it comes to racing cover. Whether your crew are prepared for all eventualities or not, unexpected medical situations can arise. Our medical cover could give you access to doctor’s consultations, hospital stays, and prescriptions. Repatriation cover gets your injured crew member home quickly and seamlessly, minimising disruption to your team.

Professional Indemnity Insurance

Professional Indemnity Insurance can be invaluable to protect your team in racing cover. Negligence in racing can create legal disputes, leading to an enormous financial burden. Professional racing teams offering advice and strategy could benefit from this coverage, as at times their advice may lead to mistakes, damage, or injury. This insurance would cover legal fees and/or settlements.
