Pleasure Craft Insurance

Private Yacht and Boat Insurance

“A boat is a hole in the water into which you throw money”. While yachts and pleasure craft are unlikely to ever earn money for you, they are a great way to spend your free time. For our private clients, we can arrange pleasure craft insurance for their vessels with the minimum of fuss, at a sensible premium.

Our leading insurance products can cover the boat on an agreed value basis with accidental damage included. Wherever your vessel is in the world, we can usually arrange cover providing that you are a UK resident.

Specialist cover for Yachts and Boats

Boat insurance is designed to protect your vessel and protect you against any third-party liability. Standard cover generally includes:

• Mandatory liability insurance towards third parties for inland waterways;
• Emergency medical expenses;
• Rescue and evacuation;
• Recovery of the vessel; and
• Cover for tenders.

It is important to select the cover you need with regards to the type of vessel you want to insure. Our team can help you get the correct cover whether it be to do with replacement costs, cruising ranges you wish to sail into, and protection for the most expensive parts of your boat.

Pleasure Craft Insurance Expertise

It is advisable to purchase boat insurance from a specialist insurance broker authorised by the FCA, like us. We will advise you on the right cover for your vessel. We will make sure you are covered by an insurer approved by the regulatory body of the country in which they are based. Our knowledge and access to specialist products on the market will help you arrange a policy that suits your needs and provides appropriate cover.

Boat Insurance Claims Assistance

We understand that you want to minimise the time spent without the vessel in the event of damage so that you can get back out on the water. Therefore, we will work with you to manage your claim and make sure that you get the right result, as swiftly as possible.
