Episode description
In this special episode of the Big BOAT Interview, Katia speaks to insurance expert Michelle van der Merwe, to find out why 2024 has seen a record 12 superyachts destroyed. Michelle, who works as a superyacht account manager at Pantaenius Yacht Insurance, explains why we might be seeing more accidents and how extreme weather can play a role in the claims process. Touching on Bayesian, the pair discuss how it's usually a number of factors that lead to a yacht ultimately sinking, and Michelle draws on her experience with some high-profile yacht insurance cases in the past.
