Founded in 1976 under the name France Plaisance, the company now serves more than 110,000 boaters worldwide.
To mark the occasion, April Marine is launching a new mobile app, now included with all of its insurance policies. The app brings together a range of services designed to make life easier for boaters, from planning trips at sea to keeping track of multihull maintenance.
The insurer is also introducing a referral program and expanding its online training platform, April Marine Académie. Together, these initiatives reflect the company’s commitment to enhancing safety and simplifying the boating experience.
