Sailing yacht insurance
Why insure your sailing yacht with us?
The price tag is the first thing that comes to mind. With many sailing yachts costing over £75,000, they are a very valuable piece of equipment to possess, and the thought of it getting damaged can lead to sleepless nights. That’s why taking out our sailing yacht insurance is a must for any sailing yacht owner. You can protect your sailing yacht against theft, accidental damage, malicious damage and salvage charges, so you have confidence when you’re out on the water and when your pride and joy is left unoccupied.
On top of this, if you damaged someone else’s boat or property whilst sailing, or even injured someone else it’s important you can afford the claim against you. As such, we provide £3 million Third Party Liability as standard to protect you from the above. In addition, our insurance policies include local club racing. So, if you take part in club-organised races in your sailing yacht we’ll cover you for races that take place at your club, as well as those organised by other local sailing clubs.
We know that venturing abroad on your sailing yacht is an unforgettable experience, so you might like to choose European cover from our optional extras. It will ensure that you’re covered for 60 days at any one time for inland and coastal waters of Europe*. We also offer other add-ons such as Winter cover and Personal Accident, so you can tailor your policy to suit your needs.
