How the place works
From June to November typhoons cross these waters, and they are larger and more persistent than Atlantic hurricanes. Add dense traffic on the main routes and areas with unresolved territorial claims, where yachts have no business being.
What breaks there
In season it is the typhoon, and there is hardly a safe harbour for yachts here in the Caribbean sense. Out of season it is nets, fish farms and debris on the routes.
What this means for your policy
Settle the blackout period for the typhoon season and whether the cruising range includes this sea at all. Also expect seizure by authorities to be excluded.
