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.

Outstanding service and support from Katrina
Katrina was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. I had a lot of questions and needed to make several changes to ensure the policy accurately reflected my new marine service business. She was always patient, responsive and willing to help. She secured a strong policy that meets the requirements of the local marinas where I plan to operate. I really appreciate all of her time and hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for marine insurance.

Nate was wonderful to work with
Nate was wonderful to work with. He helped navigate a few different policy options and helped find one with the coverage we needed and for a great price! I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Had great experience with Rob
Had great experience with Rob. He was very responsive and even worked around challenging time zones while we traveled to make our new policy happen. Explained the difference between quotes in real English and made us feel good about our choice.
