Every vessel afloat carries two quiet contracts: the policy that protects her and the loan that bought her. This directory gathers the real providers behind both — boat and yacht insurers, superyacht underwriters and brokers, and the marine lenders who write the cheque — with where each operates, what they cover, and a link straight to their own desk.
Insuring a boat is not like insuring a car. Hull value, cruising range, agreed-value versus actual-cash-value, named-storm and salvage clauses, and crew or liability cover all turn on the size and use of the vessel — a trailered runabout, a liveaboard cruiser, and a 60-metre superyacht are three different worlds. Financing follows the same logic: most leisure boats run through specialist marine lenders or banks on terms up to twenty years, while large yachts are funded by private-bank superyacht desks against the asset itself. Knowing your boat's worth is the first step in both conversations — try the HulloValue estimator, then browse ships for sale to see the market.
