Luxury Yacht & Boat Insurance
Backed by our parent company, Bridgewise Group's 18+ years of expertise, Luxury Yacht & Boat Insurance stands as a name you can trust on the water.
Bridgewise Group was built on one founding belief: Business owners and high net worth individuals deserve a broker who truly shows up for them. Not just at policy renewal, but every time they pick up the phone or need to claim.
Founded and led by Managing Director Ben Price, Bridgewise is proudly based on the Sunshine Coast. For Ben, this is more than a place of business; it's home, where he's raising his family. He’s built a successful brokerage with a reputation for care, expertise, and genuine commitment to every client.
Our yacht & boat insurance division was born from a recognition that luxury vessel owners were being underserved. Too often, yacht policies were bundled in with standard marine products by brokers who lacked the specialist knowledge to truly protect a premium asset. We set out to change that.
We don't treat your vessel like a line item. We treat it like the significant, personal investment it is.
Our team takes the time to understand not just your vessel's specifications, but how you use it, whether you're day-sailing the Whitsundays, crossing the Tasman, or keeping her at a marina year-round. That context shapes every policy we arrange, and it's the difference between cover that works and cover that lets you down when it matters most.
We work with Australia's most respected marine and luxury asset insurers, giving us the leverage to negotiate terms and pricing that reflect the true quality of your vessel and its maintenance.
We will always take the time to understand your situation & risk appetite.
We will be transparent, honest, and straightforward.
When you make a claim, we will manage the entire process on your behalf.
We will be available when you need us, not just at renewal.
As Managing Director of Bridgewise Group, Ben brings a personal level of care to every client relationship. He understands that protecting a luxury yacht isn't just about financial risk; it's about protecting something you're genuinely passionate about.
