Haven Knox-Johnston and Yacht Havens are delighted to announce an exciting new collaboration. Working closely together, Haven Knox-Johnston and Yacht Havens will be providing berth holders and trade tenants across the nine Yacht Havens' marinas with boat and marine trade insurance offerings, providing highly competitive, great value cover to meet their needs.

As two of the most recognisable and highly respected brands in the marine industry, both businesses share deep family roots and decades of experience serving the marine industry dating back to 1978 when Sir Robin Knox-Johnston was instrumental in transforming the inner basin of Troon into the marina you see today.

Their shared enthusiasm for boating, along with their commitment to fantastic customer service and the best possible product offerings make the new collaboration a perfect match. Further strengthening these ties, the Haven Knox-Johnston Specialist branch based in Plymouth will be relocating to the Yacht Haven Quay Plymouth site in January 2026, bringing even closer support and expertise to berth holders and marine businesses in the region.

Haven Knox-Johnston clients will automatically enjoy a 10% discount on policies when introduced through one of the Yacht Haven marinas, plus an additional 10% discount as a UK marina berth holder. Clients have direct access to underwriters for quick, expert decisions and a superb claims service to resolve issues should the worst happen.

Marine Trade tenants of Yacht Havens will also have easy access to Haven Knox-Johnston Commercial's team of industry experts, who can help them identify their specific business risks and ensure that they have appropriate and well-priced cover in place to protect against them.

Paul Knox-Johnston, Sales and Marketing Manager said, "We are excited to partner with the team at Yacht Havens. This partnership brings together two trusted brands, each with a strong reputation for exceptional customer service. By combining our expertise and shared commitment to excellence, we look forward to delivering even greater value and experiences for our customers."

Jonathan Cook, Group Marketing Manager for Yacht Havens said, "The new partnership with Haven Knox-Johnston reinforces our commitment to a fully-serviced, accessible and secure boating experience for our berth holders. As a long-standing brand, already trusted by thousands of boaters to protect their pride and joy, we believe our berth holders and trade tenants will be in safe hands with Haven Knox-Johnston."
