Company details
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.

Excellent guidance and support

The experience with Novamar getting my new boat purchase insured (as a new boat owner) was smooth and easy. They quickly and patiently answered all my newby questions. I actually chose to pay a little more than another route as the support I got (and will get in the future) was so superior.

Peter is friendly, competent, and just handled things. Worked directly with finance and broker, and whatever issues came up, be it qualification or whatever, smoothly handled it all. Got the job done, with a smile, in service. Can't recommend them more.
