Income protection for superyacht crew

Waves Income Replacement by Yachting Financial Solutions

Safeguard your income, so you can still carry on with your life
—even when you can barely carry yourself

Imagine losing your ability to work. Either temporarily due to illness, or permanently due to disability. For most of us, that would mean losing our income too. And in that event, how would you cover your bills—in the short term and in the long term?

Even if you are able to start working again, will you be able to pick up your career where you left off, or will you need to find another, less well paying job?

What is income replacement?

Income replacement provides you with money in the event of an accident or an illness that prevents you from working in your usual occupation. Whether it’s temporary or permanent.

You are paid a lump sum of up to 10x your annual salary in the event of permanent disability (with a limit of £1 million/$1 million/€1 million, depending on the currency you select. You can also choose to add cover that will provide you with a weekly sum up to 75% of your weekly salary for up to 1 or 2 years in the event of temporary disablement or illness.

Financial peace of mind for you when you’re unable to work

Income replacement protects you and your dependents by giving you with a lump sum payment if you can’t do your normal job due to accident or illness. You can extend the policy so you get a weekly benefit if your time away from work is temporary.

Permanent disability insurance

What would you do if an accident or illness permanently meant you couldn’t do your normal job? Would you be able to pick up an alternative occupation? What would happen to your earning potential?

Waves Income replacement insurance pays you a lump sum up to 10x your annual salary in the event that you are unable to work in your normal occupation permanently due to an accident or an illness. It secures the financial future for you and your family and puts your destiny back in your hands.

Temporary disability insurance

You don’t have to be permanently disabled to suffer financial loss. Short- or long-term disability through accident or illness is likely to affect your income and your ability to pay your bills.

Waves Income Replacement provides a number of choices to allow you to tailor cover to match your own personal circumstances. Benefits are payable weekly and can start from as soon as the 30th day of your disability. They can be payable for up to 2 years.
