Yacht insurance
Insurance is not merely a formality but a key element of security and confidence for every yacht owner. It ensures that even in unexpected situations the yacht and her owner remain properly protected.
The Interlegal team provides legal support in arranging yacht insurance, helping clients avoid common mistakes, understand policy terms and protect their interests. We act as the client’s legal advisor and representative throughout the insurance process.
Types of insurance we assist with:
- Hull & Machinery (H&M)– insurance covering the yacht’s hull, machinery and equipment, including engine and tenders. This type of insurance generally does not cover cash, jewelry or works of art.
- Third Party Liability (TPL)– insurancecovering civil liability to third parties,including damage to other vessels, marinas, berths and other property.
- Protection and Indemnity (P&I)– extended liabilities insurance covering legal liabilities to third parties and crew members.
Where necessary, we also advise on medical insurance for crew and passengers, as well as coveragefor special risks.
Legal support when arranging insurance
Maritime insurance policies are often governed by the laws of jurisdictions that differ significantly in their approaches, including, English, American or Norwegian law.
Our lawyers assist by:
- analysing policy terms before signing,
- reviewing exclusions, deductibles and limitations of liability,
- clarifying the insured`s obligations and claimnotification procedures.
