    >>Do the companies you represent charge more for full time cruisers?
    Would
    they define that as a livaboard?<<

    There are circumstances where additional coverage is indicated, such as
    Personal Liability where they charge for that of course. Other areas
    that may be affected could be in losing a lay-up credit that you'd
    otherwise might receive. There is no company that I'm aware of that
    surcharges simply for the fact of living aboard without providing some
    additional benefit.

    >>What is your experience? Do you wink at the issue as mentioned in
    the one of
    the posts or do you not find this an issue with your companies?<<

    WE DON'T EVER, EVER WINK AT THE ISSUE! In a large agency like ours,
    where we represent nearly all of the major marine insurers, we simply
    get quotes for folks in the companies that we know will accept the risk.

    >>Do the companies vary in this regard?<<

    Yes, of course.

    >>Who are they, please?<<

    Well I've already mentioned Markel and Zurich, both of whom have
    specific programs for liveaboards or cruisers, and who will also accept
    the same risks in their standard yacht programs.
