Pathfinder Insurance

Pathfinder Indemnity Company, Ltd was formed in the British Virgin Islands in 1986 and provides insurance coverage for Robinson helicopters only. Pathfinder has an office in the Bahamas and can be contacted by sending either an e-mail to pathfinder@coralwave.com or a fax to (242) 352-3932. Currently, all their interactions with customers is via e-mail or fax, i.e. Pathfinder does not provide a phone number to call their office.

Even though Pathfinder's premiums are generally significantly lower than the premiums charged by domestic carriers, there are also major differences between Pathfinder and legacy carriers in terms of their hull and liability coverage structures. Helicopter owners and operators must carefully compare not only the quoted premiums but also the fine print of the proposed coverages to determine what coverage may be best.

A great article by Guy Maher entitled Always Read The Fine Print published in the February/March 2008 Issue of Vertical Magazine takes a comprehensive look at what you should know when shopping for insurance on your piston-powered helicopter.
