Protect Your Yacht
With The Right Coverage.
St. Clair Superyachts connects yacht owners and buyers with experienced marine insurance professionals who understand the unique risks of yacht ownership, cruising, chartering and superyacht operations.
Insurance isn't just about protecting the yacht.
It's about protecting the owner, the people aboard, the investment, and the way the yacht is actually used.
The right policy should reflect the real-world risks of your yacht—not simply its purchase price.
Coverage Should Be Built Around Your Yacht.
Yacht insurance is not one-size-fits-all. Your vessel, cruising grounds, ownership structure, intended use, crew and operating profile can all affect the coverage that may be appropriate.
Protect The Yacht Itself
Coverage for physical damage to the yacht can be a fundamental component of a marine insurance program. Depending on the policy, protection may address risks such as collision, storm damage, fire, theft and other covered losses.
Protect Against Third-Party Claims
Marine liability coverage can address claims involving bodily injury, property damage, collisions, pollution, wreck removal and other liabilities depending on the policy and applicable terms.
Protect The People On Board
Yachts operated with professional crew may require additional insurance considerations, including crew liability, medical coverage, employer obligations and other maritime exposures.
Coverage That Matches Where You Cruise
Your cruising grounds matter. Florida, the Bahamas, Caribbean, Mediterranean and other international destinations can present different underwriting and navigation requirements.
More Than Basic Yacht Insurance.
Depending on your yacht and how you use it, additional coverage may need to be considered.

Put The Right Protection In Place

Your Yacht Is Too Valuable For Generic Coverage.
A superyacht is a complex asset. The way it is operated, where it travels, who operates it and how it is stored can all affect its risk profile.
Getting the right professional involved early can help you identify potential insurance issues before they become closing or ownership problems.
