Boat (marine) Insurance options

Whether for a motor or sailing yacht, we provide boat / marine insurance for all types of vessel.

This includes policies which are suitable for casual local sailors, cruising in the channel islands and adjacent French coast, through to those hardy souls tackling the deep blue either solo, or as part of the ARC or similar.

Our Chairman is himself a keen sailor, he has completed the ARC, and the dreaded Biscay several times – so knows the value and peace of mind an insurance policy can bring.

We use a select number of insurance providers – insurers who can and do understand the boat insurance market well and can provide a good array of policy options and extensions.

What sort of policy options are available?

We know that every client has individual demands and we ensure that the cover in place is best suited to your particular specifications. We are able to cover a wide range of vessels against any possible risk so you are shipshape and set to sail!

Discounts are available for no previous claims and RYA qualifications. In addition, usage and voyage duration plus limitations to costal waters can all make a premium more competitive.

Cover is usually provided on an ‘all-risks’ basis; which includes options for:

  • Cover for loss, damage, theft & third party liability
  • Personal Belongings and additional values available
  • Outboard motors & tender cover
  • Emergency Medical Expenses and Personal Accident cover
  • Optional racing cover for the competitive amongst you!
  • Agreed value policy (some policies)
  •  Marine Legal Protection cover (optional)

Cover is also available on a Third-Party only basis which commonly provides:

  • Cover for damage to  other vessels and/or property that you are found to be legally liable for
  • Cover for death & injury that you are found to be legally liable for
  • Cover for pollution
  • Cover for emergency medical expenses and personal accidents (Some policies)
  • Since there is no ‘own damage’ cover – there is no excess on Third Party Only cover.

What types of Vessels can I insure?

  • Yachts
  • Cruisers
  • Sailing Boats
  • Fishing Boats
  • Dinghies
  • Rowing Boats
  • RIB/Inflatables
  • Speed Boats

We have a broad client base – from RIBs and  small Souter motor boats through to Oysters and larger motor boats such as Princess and Sunseekers, on the books.
