Brokers

Boat and yacht broker services

  • Access to underwriters who do not quote directly to the public
  • Your vessel presented as a case with context, rather than as a form submission
  • Several markets approached at once, instead of repeated direct applications
  • Advocacy if a claim becomes contested
  • A written record of the conditions agreed on your behalf

Broker guides by vessel and use

Pick the guide that matches your boat. The questions a broker needs to answer for a trailer boat, a cruising yacht, a catamaran and an offshore passage are genuinely different, and so are the markets they will approach.

Take the same facts to every market

A broker can only outperform a direct quote if the vessel information is complete and consistent. The checklist covers everything an Australian marine underwriter will ask.

General information onlyThe information on sailboatinsurance.com.au is general educational information only. It may be wrong, incomplete or out of date, and you should not rely on it as a substitute for the current policy documents or professional advice. It does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs and is not personal financial product advice. Insurance cover depends on the actual policy wording, Product Disclosure Statement, certificate of insurance, endorsements, exclusions, limits, sub-limits and underwriting decisions that apply to your vessel. Always read the current policy documents before buying, renewing or changing cover. For legal, financial or insurance advice about your own circumstances, consider speaking with an appropriately licensed professional.
