Pantanaeius pulled the policy we
wrote with them in NZ when www reached Malaysia a year
later. They said it was because of new risks in the area. Of
course it cost us a new survey for a new insurance company.

I believe Pantanaeius has different rules in
different parts of the world, and for that reason it is
probably not a company for someone crossing oceans and
visiting other countries.
Because of what Pantanaeius did to us, I will
not consider them again. We have a policy with Geoffroy de
Lassée gdelassee"at"assurances-delassee.com,
and they do specialize in Amels. Write him and ask him for a
copy of the policy they have on BeBe. BTW, the policy does
not cover BeBe in US waters, and they will not cover a boat
with a USA home port. If you are a USA lawyer, you know
why.  BeBe is USA documented vessel with a USA address and
a home port of St. Thomas. It is easy and completely legal
to change your home port with the USCG.

HiThis appended in Thailand
about 10 years ago.  Cruisers in their 60s who were going
to Chagos wrote to pay their premium early as communications
would be difficult. The Aussie couple were told their policy
would not be renewed.Rather than have
Akwaaba's policy refused we looked around for another
insurer...QBE.Later at the  Southampton boat
show we approached the CEO of Pantanaeius ,an Amel owner,
who said that a policy to an Amel would not be refused!  He
claimed there was a high rate of lightening damage in SE
Asia.

Hi Eric,
We also have Pantaenius, but have
not yet received a letter like yours. My guess is we will
all get this, as it sounds like they are changing the times
and cruising grounds a bit. Our policy is not up for renewal
until February 2016, and we may not get this notice until
closer to that date. It does not sound as if they intend to
cancel your policy, but will require you to acknowledge the
changes before issuing a renewal. I have to admit, this is a
strange way to go about it, as it would seem more reasonable
to just send out the renewal with the new rules and price,
and you could accept it or not. It also indicates the price
will be going up, and I'd like to know by how
much. 
I'll plan
to call my agent with Pantaenius on Monday, and see what he
can tell me. If you hear anything more, please post it on
the forum.

I just receive a
note from the above insurance company that my policy will
not be renewed I have not had
anyClaims on any boat
ever. Has anyone else received this non-renewal notice, and
what is it all about .It is very legalese
and very hard to understand. It seems like it only applies
to the west coast and Mexican
waters.Fair
