About
Sunshine Coast marine insurance agent who compares quotes from major insurers at no cost to you. A multihull specialist that also covers monohulls, bluewater cruising, third-party-only, commercial, cargo and travel. Personal service from principal Lisa at Buddina.
Catamaran owners know the drill: plenty of mainstream insurers get nervous about multihulls. Aqua Marine HQ is a Sunshine Coast agency that treats them as core business. There are separate quote forms for monohulls and multihulls, so your boat is assessed for what it is, and the agency compares quotes from major insurers at no cost to you. The tagline is "Creating peace of mind".

View profileAqua Marine HQ is run by its principal, Lisa, who worked directly in the marine industry for years before focusing on insurance. She has a wide network of industry contacts. Because it's a small agency, you'll deal with the same person from quote to renewal.
If you own a catamaran or plan to go bluewater, a specialist agent like Aqua Marine HQ can save you ringing around. Nearby Topsail offers a similar personal approach with a panel of insurers. Going direct to Club Marine or Pantaenius is the alternative if you already know what you want.

“Lisa is extremely professional and helpful”
Thank you Antony for the review and your kind words.
“Ant and his team from WWBB were extremely knowledgeable and hospitable on a recent test sail we were lucky enough to experience. We felt no pressure but were made to feel at ease and extremely at home taking the helm and getting a true feeling for how the boat felt under sail and were given a thorough run through of the beautiful catamaran Excess 13. Great experience all round.”
Thank you Jodi for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the sea trial experience aboard the Excess 13. We appreciate your kind words about Ant and the team and are pleased we could help make the day both enjoyable and informative. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to see you on the water again soon. -x-

Late spring to summer is usually the best time for beginners to start learning to sail in Tasmania because the weather is generally warmer, days are longer and conditions are often more settled. Expect lighter to moderate winds with regular afternoon sea breees in summer, while spring and autumn bring more changeable and sometimes stronger conditions; winter is colder, wetter and typically windier with more fronts and swell.
