Fogg 427 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Baileys Brokers. Who will place you with best insurer for your location, usage and price. Which might be QBE or Lumley or NZI (less likely) Quality outfit (MD Neil Bailey is a sailor so 'gets it'). I work in insurance and I've given Baileys my yacht insurance for last 12 years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BMW56 12 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'm with Youi. They were happy to insure on a swing mooring so long as the required inspections are kept up to date. Survey not required even though I had one. Policy looks reasonable and not much different to others I looked at. Price was very competitive a year ago. Haven't had to make a claim, so no experience there. Only downside is the salespeople are quite pushy - will try to insure your house, car, life & wife all on the same phone call. Just say no thanks unless you are interested. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southernman 73 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 PIC are good. We are using them for offshore insurance this coming season, hope we don't need them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nzgrant 19 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 PIC have told me they dont like 40 ft plus boats on moorings. Also it depends which mooring field you are in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eruptn 95 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 If your a member of an afilliiated yacht club, YNZ offer a group scheme via AON, similar the the scheme operated by the NZTYA with AON for trailer yachts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marinheiro 352 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Note AON is a bróker, not an insurer. I gave up on them due to lack of service/interest and moved to Baileys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarcusP 0 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Not yet, but working on it. Looking for something in the Tamaki River around Half Moon Bay/Little Bucks if I can.

Elliot749 28 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I have my yacht Insurance with NZI , organised by friendly broker whom I've used to insure business / properties / vehicles. Very painless process , and I thought it quite cheap ( we didn't need cover for racing ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cj! 19 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 My focus is on value rather than just about price. How easy is it to claim and be paid out when it's needed is the acid test. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marinheiro 352 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 KM, is that new insurance the Ship Repairers Insurance? I reckon that is something the insurance industry dreamed up to squeeze yet more premiums, saying their general third party policies did not provide the coverage they had previously told you it did, and the marinas jumped at it for more CYA. At Sandspit there is a group policy which contractors pay (I think) $300 to sign on to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,214 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 now thats a good idea! I have Ship repairers insurance - it's a couple of K per year, just to be able to get into the marinas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,579 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Good idea KM - user pays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkside 61 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I'm insured through AON with Cunningham Lindsay. I had a claim for over $40k a couple of years back (hit a rock at some pace). They were great to deal with, prompt payout etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smithy09 50 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Insured with Mariner. Never an issue. Had a big payment for a mast that crumpled a few years back. Prompt payment and no argument. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
