- To safeguard your yacht against theft, loss or damage
- To protect yourself in the event of third-party claims and potential legal costs
- If you’re planning on crossing international borders
- If you’re taking part in yacht racing
- If you want to finance your yacht (you may need to prove to the lender that you have insurance)
