  • Theft of your boat or craft
  • Accidental damage caused by fire, explosion, collision, standing, grounding and heavy weather
  • Accidental damage caused by negligence
  • Malicious damage to your boat or craft
  • Salvage charges and expenses in preventing or minimising damage to your boat or craft

  • Cover extends to any person in charge of your boat with your permission
  • Option to increase standard Liability cover from £3 million to £5 million for £40 plus IPT (insurance premium tax)

Third Party Liability only cover protects you in case you cause damage towards another boat or property, or injure another person whilst on the water.

What’s included in this cover?

  • Accidental damage caused to another boat or property, or injury to another person
  • Legal costs incurred as the result of damage to a boat or property, or injury to a person
  • Accidents incurred when another person is in charge of your boat or craft. Cover extends to any person in charge of your boat with your permission, exclusions apply

What type of Optional Extras are there to choose from?

Increased standard Third Party Liability cover

European cover

Winter cover (for coastal waters only)

Our standard policy will cover you on coastal waters from the 1st April to 31st October. If you sail 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.

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.
