Do I need insurance?

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.
