Marine Surveyors Insurance


Cheers Insurance Brokers are specialist in arranging insurance for marine surveyors, naval architects, marine engineers and yacht brokers.

Yacht Surveyors undertaking surveys and valuations who act for their clients require Professional Indemnity Insurance to protect themselves from claims made for wrongful advice, errors and omissions. 

In addition to professional indemnity insurance, public liability should also be arranged to cover injury to third parties or damage to third party property.  This can usually either be added onto the existing professional indemnity policy or arranged as a separate policy along with Employers Liability if required.

With many years experience of arranging insurance for marine surveyors we know and understand the risks involved in this business sector and only deal with Underwriters that have policy wordings that can cater for this trade.
