What Is Superyacht Crew Insurance?

Superyacht crew insurance is a specialist policy designed to protect crew members working onboard private and commercial yachts. It provides financial support when crew suffer illness, injury, disability, or death during their employment and helps owners meet their legal responsibilities under international maritime regulations. Unlike standard travel or health insurance, superyacht crew insurance is specifically structured around the unique risks of life at sea and the requirements of the yachting industry and maritime obligations.

Our comprehensive modular policy includes:

  • Medical expenses including in-country costs.
  • Repatriation costs.
  • Personal accident injury cover as per the ITF/CBA scale of benefits.
  • Loss of wages cover from accidents and illnesses.
  • Death in service benefits
  • MLC-compliant protection
  • Crew replacement expenses

MLC-Compliant Crew Insurance

The Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006) establishes minimum standards for the welfare and protection of seafarers worldwide.

Yacht owners and management companies must ensure that crew have appropriate protection for:

  • Medical care and treatment
  • Financial security following injury or illness
  • Repatriation to their home country
  • Compensation in the event of death or long-term disability
Crewsure’s superyacht crew insurance solutions can help owners and operators meet these obligations while providing peace of mind for both crew and employers.

Medical Expenses Cover

Medical emergencies can occur anywhere in the world, often in locations where healthcare costs are extremely high.

Our medical expenses cover can help with:

  • Emergency medical treatment
  • Hospitalisation
  • Specialist consultations
  • Diagnostic testing
  • Surgery and follow-up care
  • Emergency medical evacuation where required
With global cruising itineraries becoming increasingly common, having dedicated medical protection is essential for both crew welfare and operational continuity.

Repatriation Cover

The Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006) establishes minimum standards for the welfare and protection of seafarers worldwide.

Repatriation cover helps arrange and fund:

  • Transportation to the crew member's home country
  • Medical escorts when necessary
  • Travel and logistical arrangements
  • Associated repatriation expenses
This protection helps ensure compliance with maritime employment obligations while reducing unexpected costs for vessel operators.

Personal Accident Insurance

Working on a superyacht presents unique occupational risks.

Personal accident cover provides financial protection when a crew member suffers an accidental injury resulting in:

  • Temporary disability
  • Travel costs
  • Temporary staffing arrangements
  • Emergency crew deployment
This cover helps minimise operational disruption and keeps vessels running safely and efficiently.
