Bill,
I am glad to have been able to help.
Eat a few good satays on my behalf in Malaysia.
All the best,

Subject: Re: [Amel] Super Maramu insurance, Atlantic crossing and Caribbean?
Jean,
Thanks for posting the information about Assurances Maritimes. I previously
had insurance with Allianz UK. Unfortunately Allianz changed their minds
about our planned route from Malaysia to the Med and refused to cover us
once we departed the western coast of India...not just for piracy, but
refused coverage completly until we arrived in the Med. I was extremely
frustrated by this because when we wrote with Allianz 1 year ago we gave
them a 3-year itinerary including this area.
We found the policy offered by Assurances Maritimes competitive and straight
forward. We dealt with Françoise GODINEAU in La Rochelle via email at
fgodineau"at"assurances-delassee.com. He claims that they give a preferred
rate to Amel owners. Our new coverage area is "around the world" from 60
North to 40 South with the only exclusion being US territorial waters (they
have probably experienced US lawyers). The policy includes hurricane
coverage with certain stipulations for mooring and/or docking.
BTW, they have a office in the Caribbean at St. Jean Bay, St. Barths +33

They usually place their policies with Swiss Life (although they may have
changed with time) and I found them reasonable and very knowledgeable
about
Amel boats. I did insure my boat with them, but this dates back a couple
years so one never knows for sure.
