Insurance

• The chartered yacht and its equipment are insured against fire, sea damages or risks of collision, third party liability and total loss.
• Excluded are damages caused by gross negligence or wilful acting.
• Basically the charterer is only liable with the amount of his deposit of 2.000 € or up to 3.000 € for bigger boats.
• Every skipper knows that a crew’s harmony is severely disturbed if the skipper or a crew member causes a damage, but all have to share paying for it. You can avoid this risk taking out a bonding insurance. So the paid deposit is insured. But here too those damages are excluded, that are caused by gross negligence or wilful acting. Furthermore damages like loosing equipment, things going overboard or simple theft.

• We are of the opinion that a Deposit insurance for chartered yachts and/or an Extended Skipper Third-Party Liability Insurance is absolutely essential.
• We strongly recommend the Skipper & Crew Package, which includes the most important insurances.
• Last but not least a Travel Cancellation Expenses Insurance for Chartered Yachts or an Extended Skipper Third-Party Liability Insurance might not be uninteresting for one or another.
