To help you find the right type of marine cover, we’ve put together a guide to explain the process, the purpose of the insurance and the type of cover you should expect. What is the purpose of your yacht insurance? All marine insurance policies are different, which is why it is crucial to be clear as to the purpose of your insurance. Your decision should not be made solely on the cost alone, but also on the benefits provided. The two main reasons for taking out the appropriate yacht insurance are:
- Protect your Yacht against damage or loss.
- Protect yourself against third-party liability should either an injury or damage to a third party be caused by your yacht
Third Party Liability Insurance is obligatory for any yacht cruising in Spanish water, so make sure your Policy provides the required limit and level of cover. What benefits should my yacht insurance policy include? The level of cover is one of the deciding factors when choosing the right policy, however it is important that you take your time to understand the benefits, and more importantly the limitations. Op de Beeck & Worth’s specialist team can talk you through these and explain the implications of any small print and exclusions.
