Supporting Yacht Owners Beyond Transport
While Peters & May specialises in the global transport of yachts, many of our clients also require comprehensive annual yacht insurance cover.
We work alongside trusted, independent marine insurance specialists who provide bespoke policies tailored to yacht owners, captains, and management companies.
Transport Insurance vs Ownership Insurance
It is important to distinguish between:
• Marine cargo insurance — relating specifically to transport and shipment.
• Yacht ownership insurance — covering hull & machinery, liability, cruising regions, crew, and operational risks.**
Peters & May focuses exclusively on transport. For annual yacht cover, we can introduce you to experienced insurance professionals.

Peters & May does not provide insurance advice and acts solely as an introducer to independent insurance providers. Clients should conduct their own due diligence when selecting insurance coverage.
Do I need separate insurance for shipping and ownership?
Yes. Transport cover relates to the period of shipment only. Annual yacht insurance covers operational and ownership risks.
