Worth knowing
Herman; cover, cost and conditions
The motor yacht Marathon 1250 was built between 1975 and 1981; no further model ranges are listed. For the insurance this is irrelevant, because the premium is based on the type of boat, the value, the year of construction, the engine output and the cruising range, never on the brand.
With a yacht from this period, the question of the replacement value arises. The agreed value fixes the agreed amount, compensation is paid with no deduction for depreciation (new for old) and in the Premium tariff with no age limit. That settles in advance what will be discussed in the event of a claim.
Third-party liability with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros is the basis, available as Basis, Basis-Plus or Premium. Full hull cover adds collision, grounding, vandalism and theft of parts including the outboard. Cover also applies in winter storage and on the transport route.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
What details do you need for a quotation?
Type of boat, value, year of construction, engine output and the desired cruising range. Up to a sum insured of 2.5 million euros the policy can be taken out online, above that we assess the individual case.
Does anything change if only one model was built?
No. Whether a shipyard had one or thirty model ranges has no effect on the premium. What is assessed is always the specific boat with its own features.

Series by Herman, build years and cover
Marathon 1250 is a motor yacht from Herman, built from 1975 to 1981.
For a series of this age there is no list price left. That is why we work with an agreed value: you state the figure, we agree it, and in a total loss exactly that amount is paid, with no deduction for wear.
On motor yachts the drive and the electronics together make up about half the value. Both belong in the valuation, otherwise the sum insured is too low.
