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.

Highly Recommended
We’ve been with Novamar since the start of our business, and it has consistently been a great experience. Working with Courtney, in particular, has always made the process smooth and efficient. Despite the time difference, she is responsive and ensures everything we need is handled promptly.
Courtney’s resourcefulness truly stands out. She consistently presents multiple well thought out options, communicates clearly, and works with us to find the most effective solutions. Highly recommended.

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.

Experts for cruising insurance!
We reached out to Novamar in need of somewhat specialty cruising insurance after our existing brokers were unable to secure coverage for our plans. Novamar was quick to respond, very knowledgeable about the market and options available, and was able to secure us the exact coverage we were looking. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Reply from Novamar Insurance Group, Inc.
We apologize for your frustration. Yacht insurance companies require a copy of the captain's USCG License and current boating resume signed by the captain prior to approval. If you forward that information to our office, we are happy to work with underwriters for approval.

As a first timer
As a first timer, Peter Ricks was so helpful and answered all of my questions. I was not sure how all the requirements were supposed to work, and he was very good at explaining the intricacies of the new account. Thanks Peter!
