NAUTICAL

Nautical, who is now the largest arranger of boat insurance in New Zealand, has a large customer base mainly in the South Island and Wellington area. This sizeable client base enabled Nautical to enter a long-standing marketing arrangement with Royal and Sun Alliance (now Vero Insurance), obtaining very favourable premiums and wide policy coverage. When a claim occurs, we work at the sharp end to arrange salvage and recovery, organise assessors and provide immediate advice on where to go and what to do... As well as being a call centre, Nautical also operates through the majority of boat dealers in the South Island. It has the ability to sell insurance at point-of-sale and to also act urgently at the time of an accident to organise initial repairs and get things underway... Nautical Insurance was established in 1988 when Lombard Insurance - a leading trailer boat insurer - merged their operations to streamline New Zealand boating insurance.
