Yacht Insurance

Environmental Exposure
Requires Immediate Response

Pollution liability coverage built to respond at the speed of an incident — addressing cleanup, regulatory response, and third-party claims without gaps in coordination.

A fuel discharge can escalate in hours. Your coverage should be ready before it does.

Our Process

Contain. Comply. Coordinate.

We review your pollution exposure, regulatory obligations, and current P&I coordination to build standalone pollution coverage that responds immediately and cleanly.

Most yacht owners rely on their P&I policy's pollution sublimit — which is typically inadequate and shares the aggregate with crew and third-party claims. We structure standalone pollution programs that provide dedicated limits and comply with OPA 90 requirements.

Technology does the heavy lifting. Human judgment makes the decisions.

You receive:

  • P&I pollution sublimit adequacy review
  • OPA 90 compliance assessment
  • Standalone pollution program options
  • No obligation to proceed

Why It Matters

A pollution sublimit inside your P&I is not adequate protection.

OPA 90 requires vessels over a certain size to maintain proof of financial responsibility for pollution. Relying on a P&I sublimit that shares the aggregate with crew and third-party claims creates significant uninsured exposure in the event of a spill.
