Small Boat Insurance

Why insure your Small Open Motor Boat with us?

Do you think paying for repairs after someone damaged your boat is fair? Or buying a new boat because it was stolen? We don’t.  That’s why our insurance is designed to protect your small open motor boat against theft, accidental damage, malicious damage and salvage charges.

It includes up to £3 million Third Party Liability as standard which protects you if your small open motor boat damages another boat, someone else’s property or causes injury to a person. This is vital as there are many other valuable crafts floating on the UK’s seas and one collision could escalate quickly, leading to a lawsuit or claim costing thousands of pounds.

You can also add on optional extras to your policy to suit your needs including Winter cover which means you can use your boat on coastal waters from the 1st November – 31st March. You can also add Personal Accident cover, so you’re not on your own if you sustain a serious injury whilst out on your boat.

About our cover:

  • Build your own policy so you don’t need to pay for any unnecessary extras
  • Quickly add on Winter cover and Road Transit if you need it
  • £3 million Third Party Liability included as standard with all policies
  • Our cover extends to any person in charge of your small open motor boat, with your permission
  • 0% APR on all monthly premiums over £50
  • Up to 25% no claims discount if you’ve made no claims in the past 5 years
  • Up to 10% discount if you moor your boat in a recognised marina and ashore

Winter cover (for coastal waters only)

Our standard policy will cover you on coastal waters from the 1st April to 31st October. If you motor outside of these months (1st November to 31st March), Winter cover is essential. If your boat is used on inland waters only, you’re covered all year round as standard.

Frost

Frost cover will protect your boat should you experience loss or damage as a result of frost or freezing.

Road Transit

If you regularly tow your boat between where you motor and where you keep it, make sure it’s covered in transit against accidental damage, theft or loss, by adding road transit to your policy.

Personal Effects

Protect your personal possessions against theft loss or damage whilst on board your boat. Excludes valuables such as jewellery, cash and mobile devices.

Personal Accident

This will cover you, or any passengers, up to £20,000 in compensation following a serious injury whilst using your boat or craft.

War

Although damage caused by war, strikes, terrorism and other associated risks are rare, the damage caused can be severe. Protect your boat against these risks by adding war cover to your policy.

Already insured?

No problem. You can set your policy to start anytime in the next 90 days so you can be covered when you need it.
