Blue Water Insurance

[Budgieboy]

Hi
Just had my renewal come up , I am in the South Pacific , Fiji , having sailed here from sunny Brighton (I left on high tide ) , I went from 2k in and around Colombia to here , now I am up to 4.5k ... Found another insurer and got it done at 3.2k with a 3.5k over rider . Boat is a Najad 490 1999 vintage , Next year I will be in Asia probably Thailand and at those figures I am willing to take the hit and go third party , problem is all the main insurers don't want to quote 3rd party , anyone know of any blue water insurers that do 3rd party cover ?

Topsail? They advertise in Flying Fish, the OCC journal.

Not sure if this is any use to you, I looked around in 2017 for 3^rd party cover in the Western Caribbean. I contacted a lot of companies, MS AMLIN were the only ones to offer a believable 3^rd Party quote for a 47 year old UK registered boat
