What Onlyyacht does

OnlyYacht is an independently owned insurance brokerage firm founded in 2008 and headquartered at the Yacht Club of Monaco, operating within Group Pastor's Suisscourtage Insurance Brand. The company specialises exclusively in tailored insurance for yachts, superyachts, and megayachts, with an insured fleet of over 350 vessels worldwide. Its product portfolio spans Superyacht Hull & Machinery, Liability / Protection & Indemnity, Crew & Guest Welfare (MLC-compliant), Charter Cancellation, Builder Risks (via sub-brand OnlyYard), Helicopter / Aviation (via sub-brand OnlyJet), Mortgagee Interests, and Professional Indemnity for yachting intermediaries. All policies are placed with A- and AAA-rated underwriters accessed through the company's direct presence inside the Lloyd's of London market, with supplemental offices in Antibes (France), London, and Rotterdam (Netherlands).

The company's underlying technology centres on the OnlyYacht mobile application (iOS and Android), which in October 2025 was enhanced with direct claims submission by crew members — automatically synchronised to internal systems — alongside a dedicated real-time claims tracking platform. This positions OnlyYacht as a digitally enabled broker in a traditionally relationship-only segment, though the application is a workflow and integration layer rather than an AI-based product. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no third-party reseller or marketplace channels; sales are conducted via dedicated account managers who serve as single points of contact, in-person consultations in Monaco and Antibes, a website-driven "Request a Quote" funnel, and heavy event participation at the Monaco Yacht Show and Cannes Yachting Festival.

OnlyYacht generates revenue through two streams: (1) brokerage commissions earned on insurance policies placed with Lloyd's and other rated underwriters (recurring, annually billed, and tied to the policy renewal cycle of large insured values typical of superyacht coverage), and (2) ancillary consultancy and claims support services, including in-house average adjusters handling claims from declaration to settlement and professional indemnity coverage for marine intermediaries. Pricing is fully bespoke per client with no standardised tiers publicly disclosed, consistent with the high-net-worth segment targeted. The customer base spans yacht owners/operators (primary), yacht crew members (primary), and yachting intermediaries (secondary), with the company's international footprint spanning Monaco, France, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.
