What Cover is Included in Boat Insurance Policies?

Boat insurance premiums are either third party only or comprehensive cover. Unlike car insurance, there is no fire, flood and theft cover.

Third party cover for boat insurance will protect you against any damages towards other individuals, public property or third parties – but will not protect you for any damages or losses for your own vessel.

Comprehensive cover offers insurance for both your own losses and those you cause to other people or property. This policy should adequately reflect the value of your boat, including any possessions, navigation equipment, tenders, anchors, motors and accessories.

You Will Be Able to Access Cover For:

Personal accidents
Accidental damage
Theft
Floods
Fire
Replacements
Damage to third parties

How Much Boat Insurance Cover Can I Get?

The amount of boat insurance you can access can often run into the millions of pounds. This should take into account the price you paid for the boat and any additional features or accessories that you may have added to increase its value such as sound or entertainment systems, motors and restorations.

It is common for boats to receive up to £1 million, £2 million or £10 million worth of cover for the purpose of replacements, thefts or damages.
