Yacht Clubs & Associations Insurance

Yacht clubs, sailing associations, and community boating groups are the backbone of Australia’s maritime culture. Your yacht club brings people together, supports sailing, training, events, and community access to waterways. But the same infrastructure, events, vessels, and volunteer engagement that make your organisation also expose it to unique risks.

At Tudor Insurance, we’ve spent over 40 years helping Australian marine organisations protect what matters most. From property damage and liability claims to member injury and event cancellations, the right insurance is essential, and we’ll help you land cover that backs you when the unexpected happens.

Who Should Get Yacht Club Insurance?

This protection is designed for organisations operating in the sailing, boating, and maritime community space: yacht clubs, sailing associations, regatta organisers, volunteer-run clubs, and clubs with training fleets or rescue crafts.

No matter how well-run your club is, there are always risks that can’t be avoided; a visitor slipping on a wet jetty, a training boat colliding, weather damage to facilities or equipment, or event cancellation due to storm closures. Ensuring you have proper cover helps safeguard your members, your reputation, and your club’s financial stability.

What Does Boating Associations Insurance Cover?

At Tudor, we’ll help pinpoint the right coverage for you. Here are some common areas the yacht club insurance can address:

Club Property & Infrastructure: Covers buildings, clubhouses, sheds, pontoons and jetties, machinery, docks, lighting, and amenities against loss or damage from fire, storm, impact, vandalism, or other insured events.

Association Liability: Protects the governing body or association against claims for wrongful acts, negligence, or errors in management that cause financial loss or harm to members or third parties.

Club Training Fleet & Rescue Craft: Covers club-owned boats used for training, rescue operations, or instructional purposes, including damage or loss.

Members & Volunteers Personal Accident: Provides compensation for members, volunteers or officials who suffer an injury while performing authorised club activities.

Members’ Boats: Optional cover for member vessels (on or off club premises) under special club-endorsed policies.

Regatta & Event Cover: Liability, cancellation, and damage cover specific to club events and regattas, including equipment hired for events.

Sailability Programs & Special Activities: Tailored extensions for inclusive sailing programs, youth boating, accessible craft, and community outreach programs.

Did you know that what is actually covered can vary considerably between insurers? Often with exclusions or high excess payments that you may not be aware of. You need a broker who can assess your individual situation, offer the right insurance and explain precisely what is and isn’t covered.

It's easy to pay too much for insurance, but it's just as easy to pay too little then find out too late that you're not covered. There's a lot of flashy online insurance calculators out there but they focus only on price. Talk to Tudor and you talk to a real person who knows the what level of cover should be recommended and who will personally help you with a claim.
