Welcome to give them a call

I'll be right thanks.

Like I said, I got a quote but they couldn't provide underwriters details or details of the mandatory 15m+ wreck removal and cleanup in QLD waters so that screamed run away to me.

All good.

If you find an insurance company who is a better option please keep us all posted. Always looking for a better deal or product..Thanks Ray

The OP asks "what do liveaboards do?"

In my experience we don't usually have insurance, and find a haulout site that doesn't require it. The size of your boat would seem to make this difficult however because of the limited choices in hauling out.

I checked about five places in and around Brisbane before settling on Montys at Caboolture. They're currently full though, with at least three more yachts waiting to get in that I know of personally.

They can barely handle a 50'er and getting up the river requires a king tide if you have any draft at all. Fortunately for me I'm sailing a bilge keeler.

Club Marine insured her.
They insured her for the previous owner, just needed out of water survey which we had done prior to purchase.

Hi
Following this thread with interest as I am actively pursuing comprehensive policy thru a broker (Which is not a bad way to go, ie he explores options) but today was hit with his cover note that values the Hull at $160000, but the rig is only valued at a $1 ie total agreed value $160001. When I asked for a explanation, I got Quote "The valuation doesn’t give a break-up of the value of mast/spars/rigging, so we have to put a figure of $1 to get it through."
That was nice of em, what do you think.

Get the hull dome for 100 and the rig done for 60.
You aint getting a rig for 1

Could try Brian Hepburn Insurance Marine On-Line based in NZ but he offers covers to Live-aboard sailors.

It would seem Brian Hepburn is an agent for northern reef/Edward Williams according to this post
https://www.ssca.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7601

It was also pointed out earlier in this thread that northern reef/Edward Williams are registered in Spain.
I see you are from Spain as well?
