Addept Insurance Services (Addept Insurance) has today announced further growth in its Waypoint specialist marine legal protection insurance solution with a new scheme for leading sail and motor yacht insurance provider, Pantaenius UK Limited (Pantaenius UK).
Launched in September 2025, Waypoint is a specialist legal protection insurance and assistance service for boat owners. It offers bespoke coverage reflecting the breadth of risk in the marine and pleasure craft sectors supported by specialist marine lawyers, as required [1].
Our partnership with Pantaenius UK is an important milestone for the business and the Waypoint solution.
