Why Yacht Charters Need Specialized Coverage
A generic travel insurance policy doesn't account for the realities of a yacht charter vacation. Your trip isn't a hotel stay — it's a high-value, weather-dependent trip to remote destinations.
Weather Risks
Tropical storms, sustained high winds, and rough seas can ruin a charter week. Cancel for Any Reason coverage protects you even when it's not a named storm — just a lousy forecast.
Medical Evacuation
Charter destinations often mean small island clinics, not major hospitals. If someone needs serious care, medical evacuation from a remote location can cost tens of thousands. Coverage up to $250,000.
Large Deposits at Risk
Charter deposits often run $5,000–$50,000+ and are non-refundable. Trip cancellation and CFAR coverage ensures you're not left holding the bag if plans change.
