What is boat insurance?
Insurance is vital if you own a boat. Not only can it give you the protection you need should you damage your boat or if it’s stolen, but it can also provide assistance if you injure someone or damage another boat. A large number of marinas in the UK also require you to have liability cover as a minimum before you can moor there.
What does boat insurance cover?
The main elements of boat insurance are protection against theft and damage to your boat and protection if you cause damage to another boat or injure another person while on the water.
For example, if you were to have an accident involving another boat, insurance would cover the cost of repairing or replacing your boat and any costs you are liable to pay as a result of causing damage to the other person’s boat or injuring them, including legal costs.
What add-ons can I get to my boat insurance policy?
There are a range of additional cover options depending on the type of boat you want to insure. For example, you can get winter cover or protection for the contents of your boat should you need it.
How much is boat insurance?
The cost of boat insurance can depend on a wide range of factors. Firstly, it depends on the type of boat you wish to insure, but it also takes into account your age and any claims history you may have. The price of boat insurance includes any additional cover options you may need.
No problem. You can set your policy to start anytime in the next 90 days so you can be covered when you need it.
