Classic boat insurance in detail

Generous no claims bonus

Protected discount can be built up over five years at up to 25% discount.

Multi-vessel discounts

Available for two or more boats. Up to 20% discount available depending on the number of boats insured on the scheme.

Repair clause

Policy will pay up to 125% of the hull sum insured for repairs (to recognise that older motorboats are often more expensive to repair than simply buying a replacement).

Fixed policy excess

The amount you pay is not a percentage of the loss. No excess is payable if your motorboat is damaged whilst moored in a marina berth.

Keen pricing

We offer what online quote engines can't. By discussing your motorboat with us over the phone or via email, we can obtain competitive cover tailored to your requirements.

Reduced excess

If approved repairers used.

Simple to buy

We remove onerous survey requirements and replace it with a simple condition report, including the option to self-certify (just because a boat is 50 years old it doesn't mean it's falling to bits!). For boats over 25 years of age and 26ft or over, a self-certificate survey and two photos are required. We rarely need an independent condition report, but there will be the odd occasion the insurer asks for one.

Policy details

Your insurance needs will vary depending on what you sail and where, but can include:

Loss or damage

To the vessel, gear, and equipment.

Legal liability for claims made by third parties

Including passengers and guests on-board, or when embarking or disembarking the vessel.

Transit risk

Within Europe. If the boat is on a trailer and is written off you are covered (bruising, denting, and scratching is excluded).

Loss of gear and equipment from the exterior

Cover for your boat following a forcible theft.

Personal accident cover and medical expenses

For the owner and guests.

Salvage charges and liability

Following a sinking of your boat this cover is for the cost of raising or the removal of wreckage.
