Testimonials

I first had the pleasure of meeting Robert Raymond in the late summer of 2008. Immediately I felt I was in the company of a trusted, honest and old friend. Bob quickly obtained M/Y Strangelove superyacht insurance coverage that was superior to what our old broker had provided and he saved us a significant amount of money.

Over the years Bob has travelled to the yacht in various parts of the world to offer his service and friendship. He has proven to be incredibly knowledgeable, dedicated and attentive to our every need throughout, always providing quick top-level service that superyacht owners, captains and yacht management need and expect.

For more than 35 years I was involved at a high level managing Major Offshore and Underwater Construction Projects for the oil industry. I managed insurance for a large fleet of ocean-going construction vessels. I have also owned shipyards and designed and built numerous vessels.

For the past 20 years Bob has always proven to be extremely knowledgeable and hard working in the placement and management of all aspects of our yacht insurance.

Mr Robert Raymond is a reliable, well respected and a strong business entrepreneur.

In my view, part of what has always given Bob an edge is his lifetime of sailing experience and knowledge. He has owned a number of yachts and has sailed all over the world. Including significant solo ocean passages.

It is a pleasure working with someone who fully understands superyachts and shares a passionate knowledge of boats and the sea.

I have known Bob Raymond as a client and close friend for 4 decades. Bob has always been focused and very knowledgeable on all aspects of the marine industry. He has assisted me with multiple yacht insurance policies, including obtaining top quality insurance for my 40-foot racing catamaran when others struggled to find coverage. Bob was a huge asset after a claim on Dragonfly, his input proved to be invaluable in dealing with underwriters and settling a complicated yacht insurance claim quickly and fairly. Bob has always been very honest, frank and friendly in all communications. I would recommend Bob to anyone considering insuring their yacht. He will not just sell you a policy, but he will always be there to answer any questions and be an advocate for you should the need ever arise.”

Bob Raymond’s extensive global sailing, and solo offshore passagemaking experience has proven to amplify and sharpen his skills and abilities when sourcing and placing yacht insurance coverage. He knows yachts and he knows mariners and he strongly conveys the best points of both to underwriters far better than other yacht insurance brokers.

Bob is a top-level, top-quality and highly professional yacht insurance broker who maintains the highest levels of service. Bob has always been available any time of the day or night, no matter where in the world the yacht has been located and no matter what the time difference.

I have worked with Bob for many years and can testify not only to his sharp focus on marketing and growth opportunities, but also to his professionalism and integrity towards his clients and the industry.

Marine Insurance is a very personal business which relies greatly upon the trust and integrity of the parties involved. We greatly enjoy and very much appreciate our relationship that now spans over 20 years, and we sincerely look forward to its continuance.

Bob’s efforts have always been insightful, creative and convincing to underwriters; resulting in the best combination of top level service, insurance coverage and premiums.

I highly recommend Bob to anyone looking to insure any yacht of any size or value, operating in any part of the world.

Bob, we want to thank you for the incredible assistance you’ve provided! Despite the severe damage suffered by Wanderlust V in hurricane Marty, we have been blessed with your incredible support and advice. You’ve provided insightful and creative suggestions, providing options for us to work with, and you’ve kept communications open, frank and honest.

You even travelled over 2500 miles to come and guide us!

Many, many thanks for everything!

In 2001 we experienced a partial rig failure while at sea northeast of Madagascar. We made landfall in Mauritius days later. Bob immediately arranged for a Lloyd’s Claim Agent to attend the yacht. The claim was settled very quickly, professionally and efficiently. I highly recommend Bob for luxury yacht insurance anywhere in the world.

Whilst working with Bob, apart from his enthusiasm, what really struck me was his dedication to providing his clients with the very best possible products and services, going above and beyond their specifications.
