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.

What Is Yacht Insurance?
Yacht insurance is an insurance policy that provides indemnity liability coverage for a sailing vessel. It includes liability coverage for bodily injury or damage to the property of others and damage to personal property on the vessel. Depending on the insurance provider, this insurance could also include gas delivery, towing, and assistance if your yacht gets stranded.
Key Takeaways
- Yacht insurance provides indemnity liability coverage for a sailing vessel.
- It has two principal parts: hull insurance and protection and indemnity (P&I) insurance.
- While there is no legal agreed upon length that separates a yacht from a pleasure boat, generally it is considered to be somewhere between 27 and 30 feet.
Understanding Yacht Insurance
Some companies specialize in providing coverage for antique and classic boats. You can choose between an actual cash value or agreed value policy. The former is cheaper but factors in depreciation and market value, so your payout will be less. Some policies include discounts based on your boating education, safety features, and whether you have a hybrid or electric boat. Some companies also offer a package deal that decreases the rate on a yacht insurance policy if you purchase additional policies, such as for your home or car.
Boats are defined as vessels under 197 feet long, while ships are 197 feet long or longer. There is no agreed upon length for a yacht , but they are generally considered to be at least 30 feet long. A vessel under 27 feet is considered a pleasure boat.
Although there isn't a standard definition of what the size of a yacht is, we can see that there is a general agreement within a range. With that being said, this general range falls within class 2 and class 3 of the Federal boat classification system.
For its own purposes, the National Boat Owners Association marks the dividing line at 27 feet. Most yacht coverage is broader and more specialized than pleasure boat coverage, because larger vessels travel farther and are exposed to greater risks.
Yacht insurance is broader and more specialized than pleasure boat coverage, due to the fact that a yacht can sail farther and thus runs greater risks.
A yacht insurance deductible, the amount of money you must pay out of your own pocket before your insurance kicks in, is usually a percentage of the insured value. A 1% deductible, for example, means that a boat insured for $100,000 would have a $1,000 deductible. Most lenders allow a maximum deductible of 2% of the insured value.
Generally, yacht insurance coverage does not include wear and tear, gradual deterioration, marine life, marring, denting, scratching, animal damage, osmosis, blistering, electrolysis, manufacturer’s defects, defects in design, and ice and freezing.
Two Parts of Yacht Insurance
There are two principal sections of a yacht insurance policy.
Hull insurance
Hull insurance is an all-risk, direct damage coverage that includes an agreed amount of hull coverage. That amount is settled on when the policy is written, and in the case of a total loss it will be paid out in full. In addition, there is replacement cost coverage on partial losses, though sails, canvas, batteries, outboards, and sometimes outdrives are not include and instead are subject to depreciation.
Protection and indemnity (P&I)
Protection and indemnity (P&I) insurance is the broadest of all liability coverages, and because maritime law is particular, you will need coverages that are designed for those exposures. Longshore and harbor workers’ coverage and Jones Act coverage (for the yacht’s crew) are included and important, because your losses in these areas could run into six figures. P&I will cover any judgements against you and also pays for your defense in admiralty courts .

Hi Guys Insurance renewall is looming and my quote from GJW for our 8 year old Trader 44 comes in at just under £1620.00. They have become resistant to negotiation on the price over the last 8 years and it has steadily risen by about £100.00 per annum. Each year I have always obtained comparative quotes from other insurers like St Margarets but there is usually only a few quid in it. Yesterday, on the internet, I came across a company called Yachtmaster Insurance. I was dealt with by a very pleasant fellow who handled my request very efficiently and then called me back later to say that the best quote he could find for me was £1293.00 and that there is possibly still room for negotiation. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Now that is a huge difference of £327.00 which is not pocket money and he tells me it is for a comparative policy to GJW but with an excess of £750 (GJW is £1,000.00). When I went back to GJW they immediately dropped my premiums to £1280.00 which, strangely enough, irritated me quite a lot. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif Now, the reason we went to GJW and stayed with them despite the ever rising premiums was their reputation. I have seen them pay out within a week on a boat that sank whilst on a cruise in company with us. I have absolutely no experience of Yachtmaster Insurance or Alliance(?) from whom they obtained our quote so would appreciate greatly any input for anyone who knows of them before I make the change. Many Thanks May
Well-known member
Interesting. I'm sure many of us will give them a go.
I have been with then since i bought the current boat. always the cheapest a no claims discount willing to discuss various clauses including a single handing clause that only allowed me to cruise for 50 NM in one day (at 25 kts.....i wasnt going to go far) very helpful and pleasant people. no claims experience......yet not sure who has underwritten the policy....Underwriting Risk Services?
Forgot to mention that they also took into consideration the Yachtmaster Offshore Qualification which GJW would not do.
Sad thing is, you only find out about your insurance company when you make a claim! I am allways loath to change companies, boat, house, car etc as I feel in my mind, this guy hasn't claimed for years. If I change and then disaster strikes does that go against me or does it make no differance? Any insurance peeps on here? BTW I'm with Traffords, competitive but not the cheapest, quick payout when dingy and outboard got nicked last year!
Smaller scale i know but we just changed to http://www.covermyboat.co.uk/ after being with same insurers for 6 years. Premium went from £437.00 to £258.00. Same level of cover. No connection etc.
I doubt you will get any better service for staying Loyal, shop around and take what suits you, we do.
Hello May I have the same boat and same insuance company (GJW) my insurance premium is about £100 less than yours. The boat is older than yours and probably insured for less, which may be the reason for the difference in premium. 4 years ago I had a 41+2 which blew an engine in Jersey, Engine failure was not covered on the policy, however when I consulted GJW a very helpful person pointed out to me that as the failure was due to "latent defect" I was covered. They paid out over £7000 for the repairs and associated costs. When it comes to making a claim the cheapest may not necessarily be the best. Tony
[ QUOTE ] When I went back to GJW they immediately dropped my premiums to £1280.00 which, strangely enough, irritated me quite a lot. [/ QUOTE ] I always do this with my car insurances - never actually moved insurers but continually "chip away" at the premium each year by getting a better price from others. Normally confused.com is all thats needed. I once couldnt beat the premium of my insurer so I said "I am about to go onto confused.com - can you better the price" and they did!!! Using this technique, you stay with the insurer you like. Havent done it on boats yet but it should work as well - it did for you.
A timely post! My insurance is up in a weeks time. I've just given them a call and have saved 25% on the renewal for a slightly improved level of cover. Ian.
I am insured with G JW through Yachtmaster, yes very helpful broker and I always get to the same guy which helps! I know of one claim where GJW paid out very promply. After my asking, they extended the singlehanded cover no problem.
was insured with yachtmaster5 years when Pantaneus declined insurance on my new ( to me ) boat as they do not cover many claases of catamarans. Had 2 small claims (< 1000 pounds each) with Pantaneus and I had great confidence in their willingness to pay out on a claim. I went to Yachtmaster on the basis of recommendations and on being a good price. They are very good to deal with (Max & Guy) and they also specialize in hard to insure boats such as ferro, wood and obscure makes of multihulls. You need to remember that they are brokers not principals. My insurance was through their block policy with Navigators and General and I only changed from them (to insure directly with N&G) when they switched their block cover to an obscure insurance synicate that I had never heard of, probably ok but I liked very much the simple no frills wording of the N&G Policy, no complex small print getout clauses, sailing single handed ok and not picky about moorings etc. Never had a claim with N&G through Yachtmaster but my friend had his boat damged by an unknown craft whilst on its mooring and they paid out for repais to hull, davits repaired and a full winter ashore storage and lift out/in, without any problems for him although there are outstanding issues regarding a mooring contractor placing his boat out of position and too close to another mooring which is probably the reason for the damage. Sorry this is a little rambling but hopefullt a bit more insight into Yachtmaster
so praps rather than the lesson being yachtmaster are marvellous - it's "be as truthful with your existing insurer about price as they were with you " ? They didn't seem so resistant to negotiation when you mentioned a specific figure and company eh?
theirs was the highest quote I got !
Also insured mine with Cover-my-boat, same level of cover over 100 quid less than the next one and over 200 less than some. And thats for a premium of c200 quid!

Just had my quote - a very reasonable saving indeed! Guess who I'll be with next season....

You could also try K C Powell 01702 470035, now part of GJW, they have consitently come up with the most competetive quote for me on 2 different boats. If you get redirected to GJW ask them to get Brian Wallis of Powells to phone you back, very helpful guy who will do his best to match or beat any other quote you have and will discuss and arrange individual requirements such as single handed sailing. Yachtmaster offered me the same cover with GJW but were about 15% more expensive.
