Reassure to insure you will be insured

REGARDLESS of where you live you can expect to be hit with severe weather once in a while. Whether it is some wilder winds hitting the region or a destructive cyclone, preparing your yacht properly can ensure your insurance agent will compensate.

Let’s take a look at a previous disaster and what was was learned.

CYCLONE DEBBIE

In 2017, Cyclone Debbie hit the north coast of Australia and left significant amounts of damage. Boaties particularly felt the effects of the storm with vessels, marinas and waters all impacted.

The Pantaenius team were amongst the first insurance representatives to see the affected areas, travelling up to Airlie and Hamilton Island, where Debbie hit the hardest. In short, Cyclone Debbie’s aftermath was significant.

The team was confronted with a lot. Many things were quite shocking to see, but what was, sadly, most evident was how little preparation some clients had done.
