Worth knowing
Jackson Kayak; cover, cost and conditions
Jackson Kayak builds whitewater and fishing kayaks in Tennessee that are a benchmark in both segments, Antix and Nirvana in whitewater, Bite and Coosa as fishing kayaks with stand-up capability and extensive equipment. The fishing kayaks are the more interesting part in insurance terms, because the equipment exceeds the value of the boat.
On a well-equipped fishing kayak there are a fish finder, rod holders, an anchor, a pedal drive, a cool box and the fishing tackle, together often worth more than the boat. These items belong individually in the application: electronics as electronics, fishing tackle as accessories. Only declared values are indemnified, and a fish finder with transducer and battery is a four-figure item.
In whitewater the picture shifts: there the accident cover is the important component, because the risk of injury is the actual risk. Contact with rock in normal use is not a hull claim, that is part of operating the boat. What is covered is the event: gashing, collision, loss of the boat on an open stretch. We do not offer boat third-party liability for muscle-powered kayaks.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How do I insure a fish finder and fishing tackle?
As separate items: electronics as electronics, fishing tackle as accessories. On a well-equipped fishing kayak the two together exceed the value of the boat.
Is contact with rock in whitewater covered?
Abrasion in normal use is not. What is covered are events: gashing, collision, loss of the boat on an open stretch.

Nautical information What counts before you cast off, papers, equipment, waters
Licence
No licence required; muscle-powered craft are licence-free, federal waterways included.
Registration
No registration required. Some waters do ask for a local permit or sticker before you launch.
Waters
Inland lakes, rivers and the coast, mind nature-reserve rules; many stretches are closed seasonally.
Equipment
Buoyancy aid or lifejacket, buoyancy bags in the boat, spraydeck, a waterproof case for phone and papers, a whistle.
Cruising range
The agreed cruising range is stated in the policy and can be extended for a single trip at any time.
Weather
Offshore wind is the main risk: it carries you away from the bank and makes the return hard. Check wind direction and the gust forecast before you launch.
General guidance, not a complete account; what governs are the rules of the waters you are on and your boat’s manual. Current wind force and direction for your waters are shown on the Home.

On a kayak accident cover comes first; liability is usually handled by your private policy. Hull cover deals with theft and transit damage.
