Most carriers offer P&I limits ranging from $1 million up to $10 million or more, depending on the vessel’s size, operation, and cruising area. Higher limits are often required for transatlantic voyages, international charters, or crewed yachts, where third-party exposure increases.
Yes. Modern P&I policies include oil and fuel pollution liability coverage, protecting owners if accidental discharge or fuel leakage causes environmental damage. This coverage also helps meet international maritime pollution compliance standards.
Not always, but there are many situations where liability or P&I coverage is legally or contractually required. Vessels used for charter or commercial purposes, entering foreign ports or shipyards, or carrying paid crew or passengers typically must show proof of valid liability insurance. Some regions also require it for pollution or wreck removal compliance, and most marinas, lenders, and flag authorities make it a contractual condition. Even when not mandated by law, P&I is considered essential protection for high-value yachts.
Premiums are influenced by vessel size and tonnage, crew count, intended cruising regions, and prior loss history. Underwriters also consider safety procedures, training standards, and operational management when rating a yacht’s liability exposure.
High-value yachts often venture far beyond local waters, requiring specialized protection that keeps pace with their owners’ ambitions. Extended and worldwide navigation coverage ensures your vessel remains insured no matter where your journey takes you—whether crossing the Atlantic, exploring the Caribbean, or cruising along the Mediterranean coast. Unlike standard marine policies limited to domestic navigation zones, this coverage allows for global cruising flexibility while maintaining full hull, machinery, and liability protection. With tailored navigation limits and underwriting that adapts to your itinerary, your insurance travels with you from port to port, providing true worldwide peace of mind.
Global navigation coverage is designed for yacht owners who expect the freedom to explore without restrictions. Policies can be structured to include transoceanic voyages, international waters, and multiple cruising regions under one comprehensive plan. Our underwriters assess your intended routes to provide accurate territorial extensions and ensure compliance with local maritime regulations. From trans-Pacific crossings to seasonal migration between hemispheres, this coverage safeguards your yacht, crew, and guests wherever your course leads—offering seamless protection on every horizon.
High-value yachts often operate across multiple regions and oceans, requiring customized navigation limits that standard policies can’t provide. Insurers for luxury vessels assess each yacht’s range, equipment, and crew experience to determine safe and compliant coverage zones—ensuring no interruption in protection while traveling internationally.
Unlike mass-market policies governed by automated systems, high-value yacht insurance involves specialist marine underwriters who understand the complexities of extended global cruising. Their expertise allows for bespoke coverage terms, including seasonal route adjustments, bluewater crossings, and stopovers at foreign ports.
High-value yachts frequently host professional crews and multiple guests, increasing exposure to liability risks abroad. Extended navigation coverage includes broader protection for crew welfare, passenger safety, and third-party claims, even in jurisdictions with varying maritime laws and requirements.
With worldwide navigation comes the need for 24/7 claims and emergency response in any time zone. High-value yacht policies can include access to international claims networks, specialized surveyors, and global repair facilities, ensuring rapid assistance wherever you dock or encounter an issue.

At Casey Insurance, we specialize in Hull Coverage for luxury and high-value yachts, offering owners a detailed understanding of how this essential protection safeguards their vessel’s structure and onboard systems. Hull coverage provides compensation for physical loss or damage to the hull, machinery, and permanently attached equipment, whether your yacht is operating, undergoing refit, or in dry storage. Policies are typically written on a time basis, protecting the yacht over a defined policy term, and can be customized with worldwide navigation limits and flexible deductible options. High-value yacht policies generally operate on an all-risk basis, ensuring the broadest protection against unforeseen damage or operational hazards.
Hull coverage typically protects against collision, grounding, fire, theft, and severe weather, with many policies also extending to salvage costs, recovery expenses, and “sue and labor” provisions—which reimburse the owner for reasonable measures taken to prevent further damage. High-value yacht insurance commonly includes specialized clauses such as the Running Down Clause, covering liability for damage caused to another vessel, and the Inchmaree Clause, which protects against latent defects, crew negligence, or mechanical failure. Given the sophistication and value of luxury yachts, underwriters also consider advanced systems, refits, and tenders to ensure every onboard component receives the right valuation.
High-value yacht policies rely on independent marine surveys and detailed appraisals to establish an accurate agreed value, eliminating depreciation disputes in the event of a total loss. This ensures the owner receives the full insured amount, reflecting the vessel’s true market and replacement cost.
Unlike standard hull policies, high-value yacht coverage can include worldwide navigation zones, refit coverage, and crew liability extensions. These options are customized for vessels that travel internationally or operate under commercial charter, ensuring continuous protection wherever the yacht sails.

Claims involving high-value yachts are often managed by specialized marine adjusters who understand the complex systems, materials, and finishes found on modern superyachts. This expertise results in more accurate settlements and direct access to approved shipyards and repair facilities worldwide.
High-value yacht insurance programs are managed by experienced underwriters, not automated systems, allowing for greater flexibility and personalized decision-making. Each policy is carefully reviewed to account for the yacht’s build, usage, and maintenance history, ensuring coverage terms remain accurate and reflective of the vessel’s true value over time.
