Exploring six decades of independent superyacht insurance with Thomas de Campou
ANP Superyacht Insurance is a specialist marine insurance brokerage based in Marseille, France, dedicated to providing bespoke insurance solutions for pleasure boats, yachts and superyachts worldwide. With more than six decades of experience in the nautical insurance market and a strong heritage in maritime risk brokerage, the company has established itself as a reputable and trusted partner for owners, yacht managers, charter operators and crews across the global yachting industry.
At its core, ANP Superyacht Insurance operates as part of a long-standing family-run insurance group deeply rooted on the French Riviera, yet active on an international scale. Over the years, the firm has built a highly specialised team of marine insurance experts whose focus is exclusively on pleasure craft and luxury vessels, from small recreational boats to some of the world’s most valuable superyacht.
HISTORY AND MARKET POSITION
ANP Superyacht Insurance traces its roots to a maritime insurance tradition that spans over 60 years, making it one of the most experienced brokers in the French and European marine insurance sector. Today, it insures around 4,500 pleasure boats and more than 300 yachts and superyachts under its programmes.
What distinguishes ANP in a competitive market is its independence as a broker. Rather than being tied to a single insurer, ANP sources the most competitive and comprehensive products from a wide range of underwriters, ensuring that clients receive coverage solutions that offer both superior protection and value. This independence is critical in an industry where risk profiles can vary significantly based on vessel type, usage, cruising areas and charter arrangements.
ANP Superyacht Insurance provides a broad spectrum of marine insurance products designed to cover virtually every aspect of yacht ownership and operation, delivered in a personalised and consultative manner. Key offerings include:
HULL & MACHINERY INSURANCE
Protecting the physical structure of the vessel and its machinery against loss or damage. Policies can be tailored to include extensions such as loss of hire.
PROTECTION & INDEMNITY (P&I) INSURANCE
An essential liability coverage for vessel operators. It provides protection against third-party liabilities – from pollution events and passenger injuries to liabilities arising from charter operations and water sports activities. It also includes legal expenses coverage as part of comprehensive liability management.
CREW INSURANCE
Recognising the importance of crew welfare, ANP offers tailored medical, accident and illness coverage for professional crew members. These policies can include death and disability benefits, salary compensation and round-the-clock assistance services, providing peace of mind for those onboard.
CLIENT APPROACH AND GLOBAL REACH
The strength of ANP’s offering lies not just in the breadth of its products but in its consultative, client-centric service model. Each yacht or vessel is assessed individually to determine its specific risk exposures and coverage needs. Policies are then crafted to reflect these needs, whether a vessel is private, chartered commercially or operated under complex international registrations.
ANP’s international team of marine specialists enables the broker to issue insurance solutions that are valid worldwide, across different flags and operational conditions. Their hands-on approach covers the entire insurance lifecycle – from underwriting to claims management
– ensuring continuity and responsiveness whenever clients need support.
In summary, ANP Superyacht Insurance stands out as a dedicated and independent marine insurance brokerage that has earned recognition as a dependable partner in the ever changing and complex world of marine risk management.
