Introduction

That’s where yacht insurance discreetly unfurls its sails, poised to catch you before the fall.

Machinery and Equipment Damage

Hull and Structural Cover

If your home is in a radioactive zone or near nuclear power center’s and radiation causes damage to it, that may not be covered by your homeowner’s insurance policy.
