Company details
Written by the company
At Novamar Insurance Group our yacht insurance specialists have decades of marine insurance and boating experience ready to serve you. With so many variations of types of boats and yachts as well as the jurisdictional challenges that come with them as they travel around the world, it is imperative that your yacht insurance agent have extensive boating knowledge to understand an individual client’s exposures and coverage needs. Our experience and reputation translates into excellent relationships with domestic and international underwriters which allows Novamar staff to provide the best yacht insurance solutions at the most competitive premiums. When insurance programs do not exist to adequately cover exposures, we create our own proprietary programs such as the Novamar Offshore Program. It was created to provide excellent coverage and premiums to those cruising their yachts in various areas around the world. Or our proprietary Mexican Vessel Liability Program with lower premiums and better coverage for people cruising in Mexican territorial waters. Whether cruising local waters or internationally, you receive the same expertise and friendly service from our Novamar staff and often at lower premiums.

Peter Ricks made our boat insurance shopping effortless. He provided several options and we were able to choose the plan that worked best for us. Peter took care of all the other work and made the whole process very easy. I highly recommend Novamar Insurance Group and Peter Ricks in the Seattle office.

Additional insured certificates for a new marina
I moved to a different marina and needed my "additional insured" certificates changed to the new marina. Ericka at Novamar was very prompt and detailed in providing the certificates.

Great service, once again.
I contacted Novamar first since my last three boats were insured by them. Not disappointed this time, either: Peter Ricks provided several quotes, giving me a range of options, stayed in touch as the buying process unfolded, provided valuable insight regarding options and then wrapped things up quickly. GREAT service; and, BTW, he answers his phone!
