Topsail Insurance was launched in 1996 and since then has provided specialist Marine Insurance products to the sailing community.

Topsail provide cover to vessels cruising in UK and European Waters, as well providing cover for long distance passages and blue water cruising.

We are recommended by the Ocean Cruising Club, offering members discount, and also run a price match scheme for members of the Cruising Association (available with certain insurers). We also offer our specialist Yachtsman’s Travel Insurance products to the World Cruising Club rally participants.

The company is operated by a team of dedicated staff who are highly knowledgeable in the field of boat insurance and travel insurance, with over 100 years of combined experience. We understand the needs of sailors and the importance of flexible products, so we have created boat insurance and travel insurance products designed to meet the requirements of the boating community.

Our online quote and buy facility can cater for yachts, motorboats, inland craft, narrowboats, small sailing or motor craft and sailing dinghies cruising within the UK and Europe. Click here to get a quote.
