Scope & service
Yacht Insurance Broker
What a broker does, how brokerage differs from the carriers who underwrite the risk, and where the lines of scope and jurisdiction are drawn.
The distinction
Two roles, kept deliberately separate
What a Broker Does
- Represents the yacht owner, not a single carrier
- Markets the risk to multiple underwriters; negotiates terms and pricing
- Advises on coverage wording, exclusions, and operational requirements
- Coordinates surveys, valuations, endorsements, and renewals
- Supports claims communication between insured and carrier
Broker vs Carrier
- CarrierUnderwrites risk and pays claims; issues the policy
- BrokerIndependent intermediary; does not underwrite or pay claims
- The benefitAccess to multiple markets and negotiated terms
In plain terms
