Quay Marine Insurance

About Quay Marine Insurance

Own a charter boat, run a marine business, lease a marina berth or have a jetty at the bottom of the garden? Those are the risks **Quay Marine** is built for. It's an Australian-owned underwriting agency that specialises exclusively in marine and works only with insurance brokers. Its tagline: **"Built for Brokers. Designed for Marine."**

## At a glance - **Best for:** commercial vessel operators, marine contractors and trades, marina berth owners, waterfront homeowners with pontoons or jetties, and businesses shipping goods - **How to buy:** through your insurance broker (brokers use Quay's online LORO portal) - **Backing:** A-rated international insurers - **Networks:** member of NIBA, the Underwriting Agencies Council and the Steadfast network

## The team Quay is a small, hands-on team based at Wynnum on Moreton Bay: directors and underwriters **Chris McCall** and **Lizzie Wickham**, claims manager **Troy Luck**, and compliance manager and underwriter **Maria Dwyer**. Its promise to brokers is fast turnaround, clear communication and direct access to the people who make decisions.

## What you can insure - **Commercial hull:** physical loss or damage to working vessels. - **Protection and indemnity (P&I):** third-party liability for commercial vessel operators. - **Marine industry liability:** for marine contractors, trades and service providers. - **Marina berth owner and occupier liability:** often overlooked, and some marinas require it. - **Residential pontoon and jetty liability:** if someone is hurt on your private jetty, this is the cover that responds. - **Cargo:** annual or single transit, locally or worldwide.

## How it compares Quay is the specialist for **liability-heavy marine risks**: P&I, berths and private jetties. [Proteus](/directory/proteus-marine-insurance) is stronger on cargo and carriers, with online cargo quotes. [Marine Insure](/directory/marine-insure) builds whole-of-business programs for marine trades.

## Questions to ask your broker - Does my marina **require berth liability** cover, and at what limit? - For waterfront homes: does my home policy already cover my **jetty or pontoon**, or do I need Quay's cover? - For commercial vessels: which **AMSA vessel category** am I in? Quay's Knowledge Hub has a guide. - Do I need **P&I** as well as hull cover?
