Crewsure Insurance Launches Crewsure Americas to Advance Crew Welfare Across North America with Employer-Paid Marine Crew Medical & Family Benefits
Company to Sponsor Fort Lauderdale Mariners Club Marine Insurance Seminar and Host Marine Brokers Roundtable on Wednesday, Oct. 29
LONDON and BOCA RATON, FL, September 30, 2025 — Crewsure Insurance Services (“Crewsure”), today announced the launch of Crewsure Americas, established specifically to provide comprehensive and flexible healthcare benefits for crew aboard superyachts/luxury charters, cruise lines and other commercial vessels based in the U.S., Canada, and Caribbean.
For more than a decade, Crewsure has advanced seafarer welfare with innovative, employer-funded crew benefit programmes backed by AXA XL Syndicates at Lloyd’s of London.

Prioritise crew health and welfare, meet duty-of-care, maximize retention, and reduce operational risks.
-
Access Crewsure’s world-class, employer-funded products, including Commercial Marine Crew Coverage, Family Health Coverage, and Yacht Crew & Guest Coverage.
-
Provide immediate medical coverage, wage protection and crew replacement through Crewsure’s no-fault policies.

They have decades of maritime and insurance experience with deep knowledge of both domestic and international MLC regulatory requirements.
