About CharterProtect

CharterProtect was created by charter enthusiasts who were tired of the same problem: you book a $25,000 yacht charter, and when it comes time to insure it, you're stuck buying a generic travel insurance policy designed for hotel vacations.

The yacht charter industry has unique risks — weather that doesn't qualify as a "named storm" but still ruins your week, medical emergencies in remote island locations, mechanical breakdowns that cut trips short, and massive non-refundable deposits paid months in advance.

We built CharterProtect to be the resource we wished existed: a place where charter guests can understand their risks and make better insurance decisions before booking.

What We Do

Today, we publish practical education focused on the coverage that matters most for yacht charters:

  • Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) — the single most important add-on for charter bookings
  • High trip cost coverage — policies that can cover $50,000–$500,000+ charter investments
  • Emergency medical evacuation — critical when your charter destination has limited medical facilities
  • Trip interruption — compensation when mechanical issues or weather cut your trip short

What's Next

We're building tools to make it easy to compare and purchase yacht charter travel insurance directly on this site. In the meantime, explore our blog for in-depth guides on the coverage that matters most.
