’We’re delighted to now be able to accommodate an even more diverse portfolio of yacht risks in the mid-section of the market,’ says product lead for yachts Pen Underwriting has increased its yacht hull limits by 50% to $15m (£11.1m) to strengthen its specialist marine practice. Trading under its specialist brand Vessel Protect, the MGA is extending its underwriting appetite with stamp capacity up to $15m, on a worldwide basis, backed by A-rated Lloyd’s and London market capacity. This an uplift from the original $10m (£7.4m) hull capacity when it launched into the global yacht insurance sector in 2024. Paul Wood, product lead for yachts at Vessel Protect, said: “Servicing and supporting the mid-value section of the global yacht market, where capacity has historically been more limited, remains our sweet spot. ”But increasing our hull limit by 50% gives us, as underwriters, and our brokers even greater flexibility and scope to support their clients.” Previous enhancements This latest enhancement follows the addition of a $10m liability limit in November 2025.
