While Ceta already offers brokers instant access to quotes from a panel of top UK boat insurers, the partnership with Topsail will enable Ceta to further expand its boat insurance offering, and benefit from Topsail’s vast knowledge and experience within the sector.  

Topsail has insured the sailing community throughout the UK and worldwide for 25 years, providing competitive and comprehensive cover for yachts, motorboats, sailing dinghies, small craft, ribs, sports boats, inland crafts and narrowboats. 

James O’Hara Commercial Director at Ceta said: 

 At Ceta, we enable brokers to cut out the paperwork and quickly and easily compare non-standard insurance quotes - including boat insurance - from an ever-growing panel of specialist insurers.  

While our Boat panel has been established for some time now, we are always looking to expand it, both in terms of the number of quotes we can provide to brokers, but also the level of specialist knowledge we can bring. 

Topsail offers a range of insurance options from basic boat liability to comprehensive marine insurance policies, while its dedicated team of boating enthusiasts are highly passionate and knowledgeable and can boast more than 100 years of combined experience, so it ticks both those boxes.

Nigel Hawkes, Director of Operations at Topsail added:  

We are celebrating our 25th year this year and while we are well established in the long distance and blue water sector, we are looking to grow our presence in the local sailing, motorboat, speed boat and inland market. As Ceta is the platform of choice for brokers looking to cover non-standard risks, we feel this partnership will help support our ambitious growth plans.
