The Zurich-backed agency is targeting marinas, yacht clubs, dealers and marine trades, selling only through brokers, and has signed on as insurance partner of the 2027 Auckland Boat Show.
Nautilus Marine Insurance has announced an expansion of its New Zealand commercial insurance, aimed at marinas, yacht clubs, boat dealerships and most marine trades, including boatbuilders and repairers.
It is a familiar name on the water. Nautilus has written boat insurance here since 2010, and Boating New Zealand reported in 2021 that it was already looking for partners among dealers, repairers and marina owners. The company describes the new range as an expansion of that commercial business.
Its commercial marine page groups the offering into six areas: property and business interruption cover for marine businesses, cover for dealers’ stock, marine trades liability, cover for wharves, jetties and pontoons, and commercial hull and builders’ risk, the last two through sister brand Proteus Marine Insurance.
Alongside the expansion, Nautilus is Official Insurance Partner of the 2027 Auckland Boat Show, on the Auckland waterfront from 1–4 April. NZ Marine executive director Callum Gillespie welcomed the move: “Access to specialist insurance expertise is important for a successful marine industry.”
