Yacht Insurance

Finding the perfect coverage has never been easier.

Insurance doesn’t have to be boring. That’s why we hired Sara East to be our BA insurance writer. Maggie specializes in making mundane subjects hella-entertaining.

Yachts are a luxurious way to be on the water, but owning a yacht means having the right insurance in the event of damage or being destroyed. Because of their price, repair or replacement is likely to be very expensive making the proper coverage crucial for boat owners.

Before using your yacht, an independent agent can work with you to create a customized yacht insurance policy to your specific watercraft, its value, and how you use it. 

Boating Statistics

No one likes to think about the dangers of boating, but accidents can happen and it's best to be prepared in the event that you face unexpected hardship. Whether you hit another boater, have an incident with a passenger, or your boat is damaged while being transported or docked, lots of things can lead to a financial headache for you.

Here are some statistics about boating accidents.

• Cabin motorboats, which include yachts, accounted for 14% of all boating accidents
• Only about 20% of all boaters who drowned were on vessels larger than 21 feet
• Operator inattention was cited as the leading cause of accidents involving cabin motorboats

What Is Yacht Insurance and What Does It Cover?

Yacht insurance is a specialized type of boat insurance for luxury boats. Yachts can be used for personal as well as commercial use, so insurance policies must be created to accommodate each of those needs. 

While yachts, like most boats, depreciate over time, they still generally have a much higher than average value. Because of their high values, a standard boat insurance policy may not provide enough coverage for your vessel.

The components of yacht insurance are similar to standard boat insurance coverage.

• Bodily injury and property damage liability: Covers the costs associated with injuries or property damage you cause to another person, as well as legal fees. If the liability limits in your yacht insurance policy are not adequate to protect your assets from a lawsuit, you may want to consider buying an umbrella liability policy , which provides a much higher liability limit.
• Collision coverage: Pays for damage to your boat after a collision with another boat or object.
• Comprehensive coverage: Covers non-collision damage or loss, including theft, fire, vandalism, or damage caused by an object other than another boat.

Additional yacht insurance options to consider

• Uninsured/underinsured boaters insurance:  Covers any damage or injuries from an accident with an uninsured or underinsured boater. Since boat insurance is rarely required by law, if you have a significant amount invested in a vessel, this is a good insurance option to discuss with your agent. 
• Medical payments coverage: Covers medical expenses and funeral expenses for anyone on that is injured, entering, leaving or while on your boat.
• Equipment and personal effects coverage: Pay to repair or replace damaged or lost items such as gear, fishing equipment, cameras, and other personal belongings.

An independent agent can work with you to determine the appropriate coverage for your needs. Because these agents work with multiple insurance companies, they can help protect all of your interests with a broad range of insurance coverage, all from one agency office.

Is Yacht Insurance Different from Standard Boat Insurance?

Yacht insurance provides similar types of coverage as standard boat insurance . However, yachts have some specific differences from standard boats, and yacht owners generally need certain protection that regular boat insurance does not provide.

For example, a yacht policy tends to restrict hauling on a trailer to only a few hundred miles, while boat insurance tends to provide coverage for trailering over longer distances. 

Also, deductibles for yacht policies are very flexible, instead of having set amounts like $250, $500 or $1,000. In addition, yacht policies can include coverage for raising and removing a sunken yacht, while boat policies generally do not include this coverage.

Is Yacht Insurance Required?

Yacht insurance is not typically required by state law. However, sailboats often do have insurance requirements. So, if you have a sailing yacht, insurance may be required by law. 

Yacht club membership statistics

You will also need to buy insurance to protect your investment in your vessel if you finance the purchase of your yacht through a lender.

Many marinas require that you have insurance in order to slip your boat at the marina. Check your local marina's guidelines, and be sure to learn about your state’s laws and regulations. 

Do I Need Yacht Insurance?

A yacht can range in price from $300,000 to several million dollars. Purchasing one is a big investment and having the ability to insure your investment can ease your mind if there's an accident or your yacht needs repairs or replacement.

Insuring your yacht is also not just about the boat. In the event that an injured party files a liability claim against you, you will want to have enough coverage in place to protect your boat, home, savings, investments, and future income.

Assessing your financial situation will help you to determine how much yacht insurance you need.

How an Independent Insurance Agent Can Help with Yacht Insurance

A local independent agent will talk with you, free of charge, to learn about your yacht and insurance needs. They'll gather multiple quotes for you from several different companies and help you compare options and rates. Your agent can assist you with every aspect of your insurance and will be your point of contact if you need to file a claim.

An independent agent can help to prevent gaps in coverage that leave you exposed to risk. You will know you are getting the right coverage for your needs, and that you are not paying for any unnecessary coverage.

Yacht Insurance Policies

Yacht insurance companies have a free hand to write exclusionary wording as they see fit. The coverages, and more importantly, exclusions vary greatly from policy to policy. Is vessel damage due to hitting a whale covered? If my boat sinks at the dock due to a through hull failure am I covered? Can I can loan my boat to a friend and still have coverage? Is my boat covered for the Agreed Value described on the policy Declarations Page or a depreciated amount? The answer to all of these questions and many others is the same – maybe yes, maybe no. It all depends on the boat insurance policy contract wording.

Let us explain all the possibilities you have with your boat insurance policy based on your vessel conditions.

Some policies contain a "Marine Life Exclusion" so hull or drive train damage from hitting a whale or large fish may not be covered.

Most policies exclude damage due to "Wear and Tear", Corrosion, and Gradual Deterioration". Sinking due to a through hull failure, non-functioning automatic bilge pump, leaky shaft log, etc. may not be covered.

Some policies have "Named Operator" or "Crew Warranties" that restrict who can operate the insured vessel. It is important to ask your broker if your policy includes these restrictions.

Premiums vary greatly depending on weather conditions, navigational hazards, and availability of repair facilities in various areas around the U.S. and around the world. It is important for insurance companies to know how many boats they insure in a given marina and harbor so that they can monitor their exposure in the event of a catastrophe i.e. marina fire or hurricane.

If a friend brings along snacks, and drinks am I at risk of losing my coverage? If a vessel owner accepts remuneration in exchange for being aboard the yacht, it can constitute a violation of the "Private Pleasure Warranty" resulting in a policy that is null and void. It is best to check with your agent, but generally speaking if a guest brings food, drinks, pays money, or provides any other compensation as a requirement to be aboard your vessel, then your policy is in jeopardy.

Some policies provide "Actual Cash Value" coverage not "Agreed Value" coverage. This means the insurance company will settle a total loss to your vessel based on their opinion as to the current value of the yacht and NOT an Agreed Value described on your policy Declarations Page.

Jack Martin & Associates

At Jack Martin & Associates, we've been providing premier yacht, boat, and marine insurance since 1929. Catering to clients across the United States and the world and with decades of marine-related experience, we are the aquatic insurance experts. Our independent agents offer comprehensive coverage options for new and existing boat and yacht owners. Specializing exclusively in boat, yacht, and commercial marine insurance, we provide a level of service that is unmatched. We are built on the character of our team and are committed to the success and financial stability of our clients, providing the utmost care in marine insurance.

What is Marine Insurance?

Yacht, boat, and marine insurance are types of liability coverage for your aquatic property. Your coverage will depend on your property, lifestyle, and insurance needs. Marine insurance covers not only damage to your vessel but also bodily injury and personal property on the boat. Boats are considered to be 26 feet or smaller, while yachts are considered 27 feet or larger, which impacts the type of insurance you will receive. Typically, yacht coverage is broader, more specialized, and more comprehensive due to the vessel's value, likelihood of traveling further, and more prospected time spent on board. While most policies do not include general wear and tear of your marine vessel, they are crucial in the event of costly damage.

Why Do I Need Marine Insurance?

Much like your home and car, your marine vessel is also an important investment. To ensure the utmost protection - and more financial stability in the event of damage - insurance is a sound solution. Stay protected in the event of theft, damage, or bodily injury with a marine insurance policy. Whether your boat or yacht is for personal or commercial use, insurance may come in handy. There are a number of risks your vessel may face, from extreme weather to collisions and more. Marine insurance can keep you afloat, even when your vessel can't. Some marinas or storage facilities require marine insurance to keep your boat on the property.

Why Jack Martin & Associates?

Our team of licensed professionals will help you decide on a policy that fits your needs. The cost of your marine insurance depends on a variety of factors, including:

• The vessel's value
• Geographic location

The team at Jack Martin & Associates will work with you in determining the best plan for your vessel and circumstances. Passionate about the water, our team treats every client as a member of the family. Our values of integrity, responsiveness, and professionalism are more deeply rooted, translating to unparalleled customer care for you.

Sunken Superyacht Likely to Cost Insurers at Least $150 Million, Experts Say

Insurers of the Bayesian superyacht that sank this month, killing tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and six others, could be on the hook for at least $150 million, according to the first estimates by industry experts.

The British-flagged 56-meter-long (184-foot-long) yacht, which the experts estimated cost around $40 million, capsized and went down on Aug. 19 within minutes of being hit by a pre-dawn storm while anchored off northern Sicily.

The superyacht’s hull was insured against physical damage by yacht insurance provider OMAC and a consortium of insurers including Travelers Cos. Inc., Navium Marine, and Convex, Reuters reported last week.

Yacht Insurer OMAC Is Hull Carrier for Yacht Sunk Off Sicily, Sources Say

Its protection and indemnity (P&I) insurance, which typically covers third-party liability claims including for environmental damage, injury and death, was provided by British Marine.

The hull was likely insured for around $40 million, while the P&I cover would be larger, insurance sources said.

“Our understanding is that the cost of the boat was between $40 and $50 million, so the limit of the hull & machinery policy was probably around those values,” said Marcos Alvarez, managing director, global financial institution ratings at Morningstar DBRS.

The P&I policy would likely be “several multiples” of the hull policy, or $200-300 million, Alvarez added, noting it would also likely cover liability payments even if the captain or crew are found to be negligent.

Prosecutors in the town of Termini Imerese, near Palermo, are investigating the captain and two other crew members. An investigation does not imply guilt or mean formal charges will follow. Prosecutors have said the probe would take time and require salvaging the wreck.

Oscar Seikaly, CEO of broker NSI Insurance Group, that provides yacht insurance, estimated the hull value at $40-70 million, but said P&I cover might not total more than $100 million.

P&I insurance would also cover recovery of the Bayesian, said Francesco Dubbioso, country manager for Italy for insurer Alta Signa Europe, who estimated the superyacht’s value at $30 million to $40 million.

Reuters is the first to report the potential insurance costs. OMAC, Travelers and Navium Marine did not immediately respond to Reuters’ for comment. Convex declined to comment.

The Bayesian disaster, which has puzzled experts who said the boat would have been built to withstand a severe storm, adds to recent woes for yacht insurers, who have faced a raft of hurricane losses in the past few years.

Premium rates have risen by four to five times in the past couple of years in parts of the U.S. and the Caribbean, and yacht insurers have cut the amount of cover they provide because of the risks, Seikaly said.

As a result, insurers have increased rates and re-evaluated their guidelines and risk appetite, according to industry experts.

As well as hurricanes, insured losses have mostly stemmed from severe storms, floods, and other weather events in North America, the Caribbean, and Europe, according to a report by broker Marsh.

Seikaly said four clients had last week been ready to buy boats but changed their minds because of the high cost of insurance.

Climate change was also likely to add to yacht insurers’ worries, Seikaly added, as it throws up more unexpected events.

“Whoever thought a storm in the Mediterranean in the month of August is going to sink a ship?”
