Public Adjusters For
Yacht Insurance Claims
in Florida

Life on Florida’s Atlantic Coast would not be the same if you weren’t able to get out on the water. From cruising the Intracoastal Waterway to exploring the Atlantic Ocean and deep-sea fishing, your yacht is an important part of your life (and possibly a valuable business asset). However, it’s also at risk from boating accidents, storms, hurricanes, fire, and much more.

When something happens to damage or destroy your yacht, the first step after coming to terms with the situation is often to contact your insurer to file a claim. However, yacht insurance claims are often complex. Navigating these waters can be incredibly challenging for those without years of experience.

Your insurance company will send an adjuster to determine the amount of damage and decide on how much money you’re entitled to. Unfortunately, the assessor works for the insurance company and their primary job is to save the company money.

At On Target Claims, we’re experienced public adjusters for yacht insurance claims in Florida, and we’ve recovered millions for clients across Florida. We can do the same for you.

Yachts and other watercraft can be damaged or lost in any number of ways, including:

  • Wind
  • Rough seas
  • Lightning
  • Fire
  • Collisions
  • Theft
  • Vandalism


In some cases, the yacht could be lost entirely. In others, the craft might not be lost but sustain sufficient damage as to be considered a total loss. Determining the degree of damage and how much your property is affected is a complicated process that you should not try to navigate on your own. You should also not rely strictly on the insurance adjuster’s decision. Before submitting a yacht insurance claim, it’s important to contact an experienced public adjuster to work on your behalf.

    A Public Adjuster charges a percentage of the settlement you receive to compensate them for their services. They will not be paid until you are. Percentages vary, with the maximum that can be charged in Florida being 20%.
