Written by the company
At Novamar Insurance Group our yacht insurance specialists have decades of marine insurance and boating experience ready to serve you. With so many variations of types of boats and yachts as well as the jurisdictional challenges that come with them as they travel around the world, it is imperative that your yacht insurance agent have extensive boating knowledge to understand an individual client’s exposures and coverage needs. Our experience and reputation translates into excellent relationships with domestic and international underwriters which allows Novamar staff to provide the best yacht insurance solutions at the most competitive premiums. When insurance programs do not exist to adequately cover exposures, we create our own proprietary programs such as the Novamar Offshore Program. It was created to provide excellent coverage and premiums to those cruising their yachts in various areas around the world. Or our proprietary Mexican Vessel Liability Program with lower premiums and better coverage for people cruising in Mexican territorial waters. Whether cruising local waters or internationally, you receive the same expertise and friendly service from our Novamar staff and often at lower premiums.

Awesome to work with!
Peter and the whole staff helped explaining the policies, getting a good quote with a company to insure us with our experience level and desired cruising area, and worked with the closing team to get a fast close on our new yacht!

Novamar comes through when others can't
Novamar insurance helped me with a complicated insurance request when other carriers provided less than stellar options. Rob worked hard over a few weeks going back and forth with underwriters to get me the best A+ rated policy. He was super helpful throughout the process, answering questions and providing a great education on the pros and cons of the different products on the market. My insurance quote was processed quickly and bound within 24 hours with Ericka providing expert customer service. I would highly recommend Novamar to other performance catamaran owners in a heartbeat.

Out performed other agents by a mile!
Peter Ricks is an outstanding agent. He found a policy for us and successfully negotiated with the insurance company for concessions they don’t offer and ended up getting us a great policy! An all around top notch experience in what can be a confusing world of insurance.
