Why Co-Pilot

Why Co-Pilot for boat and jet ski insurance - not just any broker

Marine insurance has more complexity than most people expect. Here's why a specialist broker gets you better cover than going direct.

We work for you, not the insurer

As an independent broker, we have no loyalty to any insurer. Our job is to find marine cover that actually protects your vessel and how you use it - not the first policy in the catalogue.

Insurer relationships that open doors

Access to 90+ insurers, including those with specialist marine appetite for older vessels, high-performance watercraft, and commercial use that standard insurers won't cover on preferred terms.

Honest advice on agreed value and what's actually covered

Agreed value vs. market value, whether your trailer and accessories are included, and whether your water sports activities are covered - we work through the details so there are no surprises at claim time.

Clear communication, no surprises

We explain your policy in plain language, review it at renewal, and are available when you need to make a claim - not just when you sign up.

With Co-Pilot Finance & Insurance, you're not just getting a policy - you're getting a partner that's got your back on the water.
