Marine Insurance
Marine Insurance
The ocean is part of who we are as New Zealanders, and our specialist marine brokers understand the complexities of marine insurance needs.
Whether you’re covering a dinghy or a jet-ski, something big, small or in between, we can navigate the waters with you and create an insurance solution that will give you confidence while you’re on the water.
With experts in the logistics of industry shipping and the domestic pleasurecraft market, we’ve got you covered. Give us a call to discuss your needs.

Third Party Boat Insurance
Similar to third party car insurance on the road, if you cause an accident in a New Zealand marina or in open New Zealand water that causes damages another vessel, you are legally liable for the repair cost of that vessel.
Third party boat insurance is available to help cover those costs, as well as the costs for any emergency medical expenses for anyone on your boat injured in an accident.

And then there’s the competitive side of oceangoing activities. Whether you are competing overseas as a passion or a job, we can ensure you have the right cover in place to protect you financially.

Marine Trades Covers
We understand that when you’re employed as a tradesperson in the marine industry, your workload is unique and so are your insurance requirements.
Most general liability policies don’t cover marine trades (or offer very limited cover). At PIC, we know the marine industry and have access to all of the ship repairers covers in the market. With this extensive mix of experience and resource, your PIC specialist marine broker can provide advice and cover for all marine trades, including boat builders, riggers and marine engineers.
As your workload can vary, we will make sure you only pay for the cover you need.
Construction of new vessels, refits, rebuilds and repairs all require an increase in policy coverage. We will get a full understanding of your workflow and provide advice on what you need and how best to structure your cover.

Our in-depth knowledge and involvement throughout the marine industry keeps PIC at the forefront of insurance products. We have access to various ship repairers covers in the market and can provide advice on which cover is best suited to you.
