The quiet authority on insuring a yacht.
Insuring an exceptional yacht is a matter of judgement, not just price. Our work is to make that judgement legible — so the decision sitting in front of you is clear before it is signed.
Independent by design
We sell nothing. The guidance answers to owners and captains, not to a panel of carriers.
Written to be understood
Agreed value, lay-up warranties, navigation limits — explained in the language of the deck, not the wording.
Kept current
Briefs and definitions are maintained as market terms and standards move, not left to age.

ReadWhen the weather decides to test the policy.
A claim is the moment the wording is read in earnest. Our guidance covers the risk that prompts it — named storms, navigation breaches, lay-up — so the cover holds when it is asked to.
Named-storm exposureUnderstand the deductible before the season, not during it.
Warranty disciplineKeep navigation limits and lay-up dates from quietly voiding cover.
“Insuring a yacht well is not about finding the cheapest line on a schedule. It is about understanding precisely what you are protecting — and making that judgement plain to the person who owns it.”
