Charter boats usually have liability and hull insurance. Captain’s liability insurance provides important additional coverage for the captain and charter crew. Sometimes it may happen that the yacht’s liability insurance policy or the charter yacht’s hull insurance policy is not paid out or the sum insured or the insurance coverage is inadequate. These risks are covered by our extended captain’s liability insurance.
The captain’s liability insurance also covers claims brought against you by the charter company or your crew and prevents unfounded claims.

Guarantee Insurance for securing Charter Deposits

Charter yachts are usually fully insured (hull insurance). Charter companies and their insurers usually agree on a deductible that applies when a claim is made.
As a rule, the deductible is equal to the deposit paid by the charterer. In the event of damage to a chartered yacht during a voyage, the charter company may withhold all or part of the security deposit.

Cancellation of Travel Costs Insurance

Not every trip can be made. Insure it!

If the skipper is unable to board due to an insured event, the total cost of the charter trip will be reimbursed minus the deductible. If a crew member is unable to board the boat, their share of the rent is also covered minus the deductible.
Travel shortening is also insured. This insurance covers the unused portion of the charter fee (minus the deductible). Travel expenses to the charter destination as well as return travel expenses may also be insured.
