Why yacht crew medical insurance ?
Features & Uses of Yacht Crew Medical Insurance:
Whether you are a captain of your own vessel, crew at sea on an employees yacht or a group of crew members, yacht crew medical insurance provides a unique level of coverage that you wouldn't find with most any other health insurance programs in the world.
Being a crew member or boat owner or live aboard is a unique lifestyle and occupation. It's nomadic, constantly moving around the globe, generally not on land. Most think of their home address as something on land. When living and working on board, your address is your vessel and it's current location which is constantly changing. Crew medical plans are designed with this in mind and provide access to the highest quality health care anywhere in the world, no matter where you might be at the time.
Crew plans provide a level of coverage including but not limited to illness, accident, emergencies, hospitalization, emergency medical evacuation and repatration of remains benefits. Many plans can provide maternity and wellness benefits. Review each of the plans we present for all the specific details.

Needing income protection while working on board ?
Are you working on board a yacht or cruise ship, cargo tanker or research vessel ? Is this where you make your paycheck ? How would you pay your bills if you suddenly were injured or fell ill on the job and couldn't return to work for a period of time, or worse yet, permanently !
Most people fail to recognize the critical need for disability income protection. Most are good about paying for their property insurance on homes, cars and boats but most do not insure their paycheck, the ATM machine I like to call it... YOU!
Disability income protection insurance is very affordable and should be right up there with life insurance as a top coverage that every working person requires. More than 1 billion people in the world are living with some sort of disability, according to a new international survey. That's about 15 percent of the world's population, or nearly one of every 7 people.
