About Marine and General Insurance Brokers
At **Marine and General Insurance Brokers** you deal directly with the principal. **Rob Marshall** has more than **40 years in insurance**, from underwriting to claims, and he knows boats.

## Why use a broker
- **Access to the wider market.** Rob has connections with insurers worldwide, including **Lloyd's**, which helps for unusual boats or cruising plans. - **Claims support.** When something goes wrong, the brokerage helps you through the claim and works with the insurer's loss adjusters, investigators and legal advisers for you. - **The Steadfast network.** As part of Australia and New Zealand's largest broker group, the business has the buying power of a big network with the service of a small office. - **Code-bound.** The brokerage subscribes to the Insurance Brokers Code of Practice and is a member of AFCA, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority.

A broker works **for you, not the insurer**. That's the key difference from going direct to Club Marine or Nautilus. Marine & General suits owners who want one trusted adviser for their boat and everything else. For a marine-only agency on the Sunshine Coast, see Topsail or Aqua Marine HQ.
