Do I need insurance?

Generally, annual yacht insurance (such as hull & machinery policies) covers normal boating activities but does not include protection during transport.

For yacht shipments, marine cargo insurance can be arranged to protect your yacht while it is being shipped. Peters & May participates in an open cover marine cargo insurance programme to support this.

If you would also like to review or arrange annual yacht ownership insurance, we can introduce you to trusted marine insurance specialists for further advice.

Do You Offer Insurance For Yacht Transport?

Yes. Peters & May participates in an open cover marine cargo insurance programme, which allows us to arrange protection for your yacht while it is being shipped.

This is separate from annual yacht ownership insurance, which provides year-round cover for the vessel itself. While Peters & May does not provide ownership insurance directly, we can introduce clients to trusted marine insurance specialists for further advice.
