INNOVATION FROM TRADITION For almost 50 years now the names Pantaenius and Baum have been inextricably linked. The traditional family business was taken over by Harald Baum in 1970, who revolutionised yacht insurance with Agreed Fixed Value. As a consequence, Pantaenius immediately became the market leader.

Today, the Pantaenius Yacht Insurance and Pantaenius Corporate Insurance businesses are managed by Harald‘s 2 sons, Martin and Daniel, who continue to use their father’s formula for success with a global network of experts which is unique to the industry.
