  • Do I need yacht insurance?addremove

    If you are considering investing thousands of money in a yacht, it’s wise to protect that investment. In addition, evidence of third-party insurance is compulsory at most marinas, harbours, and in recognised mooring areas. To obtain an inland waterways licence, you may need to produce proof of third party insurance.

  • How do I value my yacht?addremove

    The value of your boat should reflect the current market value. The price you paid for the boat is normally a good indicator of this. Where the value is not known or ambiguous, we may need an independent valuation.

  • Does my policy cover racing?addremove

    Not automatically. The cover is normally available at an additional premium.
