Eight Things Yacht Crew Should Know About Insurance

Written by Melanie Langley and Marién Sarriera

Marién, the founder of Yachts Mermaids and a former yacht crew member with over 15 years at sea, knows how frustrating, challenging, and daunting the topic of insurance can be. This is why she has partnered with Melanie Langley, a maritime insurance broker at Moore Dixon (MDBL) , well-known for its ACREW Superyacht Business Awards (Best Insurance Health & Medical and Best Service Provider Finalist). In order for you to understand how maritime insurance works onboard yachts and how to be covered as a seafarer when the unexpected happens, below we have listed 8 things you should know about yacht crew insurance.

1. Understand what insurance is

It’s essential to understand insurance when discussing it. Insurance is a contract (called an insurance policy) in which, for a set sum (premium), you receive financial protection or reimbursement against losses from the insurance company. These potential losses are set out in the policy contract.  

2. Know who’s in charge of supplying insurance onboard

Usually, your employer purchases the insurance for the crew as a group, and the management company helps with claims. In other cases, you must purchase your insurance, and the vessel will refund you a monthly set amount stipulated in the contract. Sometimes, the Captain, Purser, or HOD may oversee crew insurance and can advise you if you need help with your claims. We recommend finding out who supplies the insurance, who the point of contact is, and how to make a claim.

3. Difference between P&I and medical insurance

P&I (called Protection and Indemnity Insurance) is a type of insurance that yacht owners purchase to cover the potentially huge costs of any harm they accidentally cause to people, property, or the environment. Medical insurance is specifically designed to look after any illnesses or injuries you may have. Your medical insurance type may vary widely; some cover preventative checks, and some just cover emergencies. 

Most P&I insurance policies require medical insurance to be in place before they will offer any coverage. So, with a medical claim, the medical insurer is the first to respond financially. It is also worth noting that most P&I claims must be work-related. 

If medical insurance is provided, it would cover medical costs only. Depending on the severity of the injury, there could also be a potential claim for permanent disablement via the P&I policy. Some yachts also have additional personal accident insurance, which means your salary would be covered if you are injured while working. Again, this is why you must find out what coverage is provided onboard.

Moore Dixon Brokers Limited does cover both groups and individuals for personal accident cover, so even if your yacht doesn’t provide this, you can still get it and protect your salary. Click here to learn more.

4. MLC flag states insurance coverage vs. other flag states

Richard Johnson-Brown from Keystone Law shared that the MLC 2006 (Maritime Labour Convention) requires health insurance for all seafarers working on board commercial and private yachts that are part of the convention. 

MLC does not directly apply to yachts flagged in states that have not ratified it, such as the United States of America. But if your country of residency has ratified the MLC 2006, this could mean that the MLC 2006 standards on board ships, as implemented nationally, would also apply to protect you. This information can be found in Article V, paragraph 7, of the MLC 2006. 

“So, in effect, while health insurance is not a requirement for yachts flagged in non-MLC flag states, an MLC flag state/country may nevertheless require the yacht’s seafarers to have health insurance if they call at the state’s ports (the extent to which this is enforced depends on each individual MLC flag state and their PSC).”

To expand on the USA insurance requirements, as it is not an MLC signatory and does not have to comply, Oleg Otten, Michael Karcher, and Roberto Rodriguez Allen from Robert Allen Law shared with us that the USA has its own legislation called The Jones Act, which ultimately gives the employer a duty of care for their crew. 

“The USA did not ratify the MLC, and the USA has no legislature comparable to the MLC. There are some relevant USA employment laws (for example, laws against discrimination) and case laws on seamanship rights, which all employers should follow in the USA. But beyond that, the key document is the employment agreement (SEA)/contract.

There is no legal requirement to provide health insurance, regardless of tonnage or registration. The legal requirement kicks in only when and if a crew member is injured while serving on the vessel, and it applies to “maintenance and cure” referenced below.

yacht crew insurance company

The traditional remedies of Maintenance and Cure provide an employee (crew member) of a seagoing vessel with a daily living allowance designed to cover food and lodging (Maintenance) in addition to actual payments for therapeutic, medical, or hospital expenses (Cure) during periods of illness or injury while the employee is in the service of the ship. The right to such benefits “extends during the period when [he or she] is incapacitated to do a seaman’s work and continues until he or she reaches maximum medical recovery.

The “Cure” doctrine requires the vessel owner to pay for the seaman’s medical treatment until the seaman reaches “maximum medical cure.” Maintenance is supposed to give the seaman the wages he or she would have earned to the end of the voyage and enough compensation to provide the seaman with room and board comparable to that offered on the vessel. However, seamen are entitled to maintenance payments even if they did not live or sleep aboard the vessel.  

 Under most circumstances, if a seaman is injured or falls ill while “in the service of the vessel,” the employer must pay maintenance and cure even if the employer was not at fault, or sometimes even when the illness or injury is unrelated to your employment.

A seaman also has the right to sue his or her employer for negligence under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C. § 30104, in addition to the claim for maintenance and cure. Damages for negligence can include pain and suffering, loss of earnings, future medical expenses, and the inability to enjoy life. This requires a showing of negligence by the seaman’s employer.

That said, while there may not be a specific legal requirement for health insurance coverage for crew members, it is common practice and advisable for yacht owners to provide insurance coverage for their crew as part of their employment benefits package. This can include health insurance and other types of insurance, such as workers’ compensation and liability insurance.”

5. Be informed about Death and Disability coverages

If you were to pass away or experience a permanent disability, would you be protected? Finding out if the vessel has a Death and Disability coverage is crucial information you should know. Again, from boat to boat, this will differ. That’s why we highly recommend you always have this type of insurance as personal coverage. It’s important to remember that standard insurance from your home country might consider yachting a ‘dangerous’ occupation and not cover you. So, it’s worth going to a seafarer-specific insurance provider like MDBL to support your scouting for coverage at sea.

6. The most essential coverage for yacht crew

Medical insurance is the single most important insurance for a crew member working on a yacht. This is mainly because you will be working in different countries with distinct health systems than your country of residency, where you may have some level of coverage in public health service or a local policy. This becomes even more essential if you are working in the USA/Canadian waters, as the medical bills in these countries are likely to give you nightmares!

7. When to get insured

The time to get your personal insurance is NOW, even if you think you don’t need it. It is essential to know that the healthier you are, the easier it will be to get coverage, as sometimes it’s too late to obtain personal medical insurance when you already have a pre-existing medical condition. The insurer may either exclude the condition, place a loading (extra cost), or, in some instances, choose not to offer you cover. If your boat doesn’t provide cover, get it yourself. 

Freelance and yacht crew between jobs must get themselves protection through coverage. It’s too easy to think it won’t happen to you, but unexpected health issues, accidents, death, and disability do happen to crew just like you. How often have you seen a donation campaign for the crew that thought it couldn’t happen to them?

8. How to get insured

Only a few companies offer individual plans for yacht crew, but many offer group policies. If you want to discuss your options for individual or group policies, I highly recommend contacting Melanie Langley from Moore Dixon Brokers Limited.

COMMITTED TO THE WELFARE OF YOUR SEAFARERS AND THEIR FAMILIES

MLC 2006 COMPLIANT BENEFITS INSURANCE FOR YOUR SEAFARERS

yacht crew insurance company

Seafarers deserve the same care and concern, the same right to benefits, the same access to the best medical treatment, the same security expected and enjoyed by those who work ashore. This is the vision that has inspired Crewsure.

For too long the tough life of the seafarer has gone unnoticed, but that has now changed. Legislation is bringing reform and improvements to working conditions, and Crewsure offers a product for this moment. Crewsure Marine is a single insurance policy embracing today’s needs and benefits; personal to the seafarer, yet paid by the employer. At last a seafarer’s insurance can match that of the shoreside employee.

From the outset collaboration with the Maritime Community has been fundamental to Crewsure’s development. Discussion with representatives of both employers and employees has engendered enthusiasm and support, and the collegiate approach will continue to underpin Crewsure’s future growth.  

We have developed Insurance products that recognise the needs, concerns and differing legal requirements of seafarers and have sought to distinguish between those who serve the commercial shipping community and those aboard yachts.

Find a Markel marine agent and get a free, no-obligation quote today.

If you love your yacht, you’ll love our insurance.

We’ve been the yacht insurance leader for over 45 years because we provide coverages that fit your yacht and your lifestyle. Markel yacht insurance can offer distinct advantages in coverage features, options, knowledge and experience.

Why do you need yacht insurance?

Whether you own a yacht or a houseboat, we understand it’s not a typical boat and shouldn’t be covered by a typical boat insurance policy. That’s where we come in—each Markel yacht insurance policy can be customized to fit your yacht, your needs, your budget and your style.

Still not sure?

Here’s a few of the potential advantages to insuring your yacht with us:.

More complete coverage than any other carrier at no additional cost.

Experienced yacht underwriters and marine claims specialists who provide prompt, responsive service.

Discounts and cost-effective coverage options to save you money.

Flexible payment options.

Save money by customizing your yacht insurance

Actual cash value coverage (ACV) Reduce your coverage to ACV, which factors in depreciation of your yacht should you have to file a claim.

Lay-up option We’ll discount your yacht insurance premium during the winter months when your yacht is not in use.

Higher deductibles If you can manage minor repairs to your boat on your own, selecting a higher deductible will reduce your premium.

Windstorm exclusion Live in an area that isn’t at risk for a hurricane? You may consider removing windstorm coverage from your policy.

Liability only Coverage in case you damage another yacht and/or person (doesn’t require a survey—even for older boats).

What we offer

We offer coverage for a variety of watercrafts over 26 feet in length, including:.

  • Sport fishing boat

Our coverages can include:

  • Coverage for your yacht
  • Coverage for you
  • Optional coverages

Hull and equipment insurance protection including:

  • Protect and recover can cover reasonable costs incurred when trying to protect your yacht from further damage after an accident
  • Consequential damage for non-wood yachts–normal wear and tear and deterioration is not typically covered under a yacht insurance policy. However, if your yacht suffers damage from fire, explosion, sinking or collision because of one of these conditions, you may be protected
  • Ice and freezing damage coverage if you contracted with a commercial marina or repair facility
  • Agreed value for total loss
  • Deductible waived on most total losses
  • No depreciation on most partial losses
  • Automatic tender coverage

Windstorm extra expense If there is a named storm, watch or warning, we will share the expense with you to help protect your yacht before the storm makes landfall.

Personal effects coverage For all the “extras” you physically bring onto your yacht. (i.e., smart phone, camera, etc.)

Emergency towing and assistance Coverage for towing expenses if your yacht happens to get stuck in or out of the water, including the delivery of gas, oil and parts.

Rental reimbursement coverage Coverage for when your yacht is being repaired from a covered loss.

Uninsured boater Unfortunately, not all boaters on the water have insurance. This coverage helps protect you and your family members if you are injured in an accident caused by an uninsured boater. Coverage is automatically included if watercraft liability is purchased.

Pollution liability Pollution coverage helps protects you if you are held legally liable due to an oil pollution leak or spill.

Medical payments Coverage for injuries suffered during an accident on your yacht.

Paid crew (Jones Act) Protection for you if you are legally responsible for injuries to a paid captain or crew member while on your yacht.

Protection and indemnity Coverage in the event that you are responsible for injuries to another person, or damage to their boat or property. Wreck removal is included with purchase of hull coverage.

  • Boat trailer coverage
  • Boat lift and boat house coverage
  • Fishing tournament reimbursement for fishing boats
  • Fishing equipment protection
  • Transit and storage coverage
  • Trip coverage
  • Trip interruption reimbursement
  • Personal liability coverage if you live aboard your yacht

Frequently asked questions about yacht insurance

General questions.

How much coverage do I need? Each boat, person, location and situation is different. There isn't a good way to give a "ballpark" figure for how much coverage you need. It’s best to evaluate your comfortable level of risk when protecting your boat, assets and passengers. Your best option is to call our boat specialists at +1.800.236.2453 to discuss the best coverage for you.

Can I insure my yacht for liability only? Yes, we offer protection and indemnity (liability only) coverage to help protect you in case you are responsible for injuries to another person or damage to another boat or property. Many carriers do not offer liability-only policies for yachts, or if they do, require a survey. However, Markel’s protection and indemnity coverage does not require a survey, so you’re able to do what you love without worries out on the water.

Will my policy cover normal wear and tear of my yacht? Most insurance policies will not cover normal wear and tear of your yacht and the deterioration or the resulting damage. However, if your yacht is damaged from fire, explosion, sinking, collision or stranding, you may be protected under our consequential damage coverage.

Can I use my yacht for chartering? We know that sometimes yacht owners charter their yacht for sightseeing tours or even sport fishing to help offset some of the costs of owning a yacht. Markel offers an optional limited charter coverage for these situations provided the captain of the watercraft has a minimum of 2 years loss-free experience of yachting. Additional restrictions may apply.

I live on my yacht. Am I covered? Markel provides live aboard coverage. Be sure to disclose that you live aboard to your agent.

My yacht is in a corporation's name. Can I still insure it with Markel? Our yacht insurance policy can cover corporately titled boats for both personal use and client entertainment. We do require all corporately titled boats designate a designee of the watercraft. Contact your agent to learn more.

Do I need to insure my yacht in the winter? It may seem that since you don't use your yacht in the winter you don't need to insure it. This is a risky way of looking at insurance and one that we have seen cost far too many people far too much money. Your yacht is at risk for damages at all times of the year, not only when it's on the water. For example, if your yacht is placed in storage for the winter and is damaged, you will not have any assistance in paying for those repairs without an active insurance policy.

Do you cover unique boats? We offer coverage for various kinds of boats that other insurers may shy away from, including: high performance boats, airboats, hovercraft, etc. Not sure if your watercraft will be covered? Give us a call at +1.800.236.2453 to speak with one of our marine insurance specialists.

What kind of fishing equipment is covered? Your rods, reels and tackle are automatically covered under your personal effects coverage up to the limit purchased. If that coverage isn't sufficient, our fishing equipment coverage provides insurance protection at replacement cost. Please contact one of our marine insurance specialists at +1.800.236.2453 to find out more.

Claims questions

How do I file a claim? We understand that no one wants to file a claim. That's why we do everything we can to make the process as painless as possible. You can report your yacht insurance claim by calling our office at +1.800.236.2453 or submit your claim online and we'll take it from there.

How long will it take for my claim to be processed? We are committed to investigating, evaluating and resolving marine insurance claims in a timely manner.

Is there anything I can do to help speed up the claim process? Yes, you can help streamline the claims and settlement process and avoid delays by providing the following information when you file your claim:

  • Policy number
  • Date, time and location of loss or damage
  • Description of loss or damage
  • Digital photos (if possible)
  • Phone number to reach you
