Why do I need boat insurance?
Owning a boat is a passion that involves a lot of investment and commitment and if an accident was to happen, the cost of repair or salvage could easily reach into the thousands. Not to mention the cost if you hit and damage another vessel.
The type of boat insurance you need will depend on the type of boat you own and where you sail. That’s why we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach to our policies. With specialist boat insurance from Ripe, you can build your own policy and pick and choose the options you want. This means you only ever pay for the cover you need.
What does boat insurance cover?
Third Party Liability
Cover up to £3m is included as standard or you can opt to extend this to £5m if needed. This covers the associated costs if you’re found liable for causing accidental damage to someone’s property or injury to another person.
Theft
Provides cover for theft or attempted theft of your boat or craft including its trailer and any associated equipment.
Salvage Charges
We will cover salvage charges and expenses incurred in retrieving your boat if it is stranded to prevent or minimise loss.
Accidental loss or damage
We will provide cover for accidental loss or damage caused by fire, explosion, collision, stranding, grounding and heavy weather.
Malicious damage
Provides cover for loss or damage to your boat or craft caused by any malicious act which has been reported to the Police.
Personal Accident cover
With our Personal Accident add-on, if you suffer a serious bodily injury whilst participating in the activity you’re insured for, you’ll be compensated.
