Founded in 2013, we operate from our headquarters in the yachting hub of Monaco. With thousands of crew covered, we draw from our hands-on experience and decades’ insurance expertise to provide the yacht crew with complete peace of mind.
We help you sidestep the jargon and confusing fine print, so crew have all they need for life onboard.
