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.

New yacht insurance
This is my first time dealing with this agency and I’ve been a boat owner for over 35 years. This group gave amazing results. Much much better service and response and definitely better rates than anybody else by a wide margin. I will definitely return to them for other insurance needs.
