Guiding Crew Through Every Storm
From Monaco To You
Founded in 2013, we operate from our headquarters in the yachting hub of Monaco. With thousands of crew members covered, we draw on our hands-on experience and decades of insurance expertise to provide yacht crews with complete peace of mind.
We help you sidestep the jargon and confusing fine print, ensuring that crew members have everything they need for life onboard.
