Veit, His name is Scott Stusek , he is a sailor himself and is very willing
to take time to explain and answer questions. His cell is 914 217 7991 office ,
443 569 7995. I found that the policy had few exclusion , unlike what someone
wrote. I checked yesterday with Scott and Pantaenius has no exclusion precluding
solo sailing. Tell Scott I referred you maybe we can get a break. They have what
is called their " Amel Plus Program" , I need to ask what that's
about. Pat

I just got a quote from the local
Pantentaenius broker , summers on the Chesapeake, Nov.- April in the
Caribbean , for $ 3070. for $280,000 face value. Summer season covers
area from Jacksonville to Newfoundland and out to east of Bermuda. No
deductible for lighting strikes, etc. I will be sending in my application
this week unless someone knows something I don't.

I
disagree with the Pantaenius statement below.
I have
been with Pantaenius and maintain Cream Puff inside the hurricane zone.
Florida can be a very difficult place to obtain good boat insurance at a
reasonable price and Pantaenius meets the mark. They are priced in the
market at slightly above average, the customer service is exceptional and
they offer fixed value coverage (no depreciation factor as a vessel ages)
all around the globe.
Unless
someone has a factual claim to support a negative review on a company,
please refrain from broad trash statements.

Don't go to Pantaenius insurance!! I was with them 4
years and are now with Bavaria.... Basically the same but a lot
cheaper...
Thanks Bill - I had a feeling that the weather was not being too
kind. We have a wedding for our daughter this weekend then we will be
out moving in your footsteps from Gocek to Corfu via the Corinth
canal.

Peter,
The Agean has
been lively for a week and will continue through this week...3 meter
seas and 20-35kts. We are in Naxos until things calm down. We are going
to take a ferry to Santorini and stay overnight in a hotel on Saturday
when the weather has calmed. In 2011 we took BeBe to Santorini and
anchored in the caldera...amazing.
We have had
insurance with Assurances Maritimes de Lassée in France for about 4
years. We have no complaints...but, of course, we have not had a claim.
Others in the Amel Group have recommended them.

Tell her that
you want a quote on a policy like BeBe has. Also get her to email you a
quote and a copy of their policy in English. They specialize in
Amels.
I think you will
be happy with the policy and quote.

Colin - ex SV Island Pearl
For our quick 3 months direct Atlantic, Panama and Pacific crossing from Canary Islands direct to Australia Pantaenius (UK Office) seemed to be the best we could get at the time. They came highly recommended by PYD and were also happy to insure our 11yr old rigging without replacement after a good survey report. Although not the cheapest at all, they were certainly happy to allow us to adjust the policy as and when we sailed into each new zone but this was quite expensive in all.
In Australia we have just renewed with them from their new Australian office this time and these guys were certainly competitive (but not the cheapest) locally, seemed fair in terms of cyclone coverage compared to others, and with a better quality of cruising coverage in this region than the other local competitors we thought.
Agree with Bill that it all depends on the area you are sailing in and the office you are dealing with. Both London & Sydney offices were really great to deal with although we had no claims yet and also recently discovered from the Australian office that a torn bimini cover (after a recent storm here) was not covered.
We are interested to hear about the Pantaenius Indian Ocean coverage issues and hope that they lift their game in this respect before we do that crossing (some years in the future still) however we will be shopping around ahead of that time with some of the companies mentioned in this most interesting discussion topic.

TopSail (contact: Daniel Groves, daniel@...) insures us for single handed sailing aboard our SM2K. Our premium last year was approx US$1900 (we use a high deductible). That covered us from Cape Verde and into the Mediterranean. There was a $800 increase when we had to change our plans and sail across Atlantic from Gibraltar; the increase seemed a bit high.
fair winds, Mark
