While many opt to complete refit works during this time, for others, it means setting sail for sunnier shores. Therefore, should you be exploring instead, whether in the Caribbean, Pacific,\u00a0or even further afield, each region has their own unique considerations.<\/p>\n<p>If sailing east to explore the Maldives and Asia, Piracy and War coverage should be discussed with\u00a0your broker. Yacht insurance policies are subject to the JWC (Joint War Committee) listed areas,\u00a0which excludes War and Piracy coverage for the areas listed. With prior notice, we are able to\u00a0extend coverage for the required voyage ensuring coverage remains in force. Insurers will charge an\u00a0additional premium and coverage will be subject to\u00a0a number of conditions , which may include registration with the MSC HOA (Maritime Security Centre Horn of Africa) and to compliance with best\u00a0management practices.<\/p>\n<p>When sailing west toward the USA and Caribbean, different considerations are needed. COFR\u00a0(Certificate of Financial Responsibility) will need to be applied for all yachts over 300 gross tons in USA waters. It is\u00a0important to arrange your COFR and supporting insurance prior to arrival. This will prevent any\u00a0issues with the US Coast Guard who can detain vessels or deny entry into US ports.<\/p>\n<p>The cruising\/navigation specified on all policies in place will need to be checked against your cruising\u00a0itinerary requirements. Ensuring appropriate coverage is in place before any voyage will prevent any\u00a0coverage issues should a claim arise. So if you are not on the right plan, you might not be covered.<\/p>\n<p>It is vital to check coverage is in place for your cruising itinerary. This can be done by contacting your\u00a0broker or by looking at the cruising\/navigation specified on your insurance documentation.
