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.
