Worth knowing
Scheepswerf Nic. Witsen; cover, cost and conditions
A single model range is on file: the Estromon, a motor yacht of the years of construction 1971 to 1978. No further models are available. A yacht from that time is a second-hand boat today, and its value is fixed in the policy instead of being estimated.
That is what the agreed value is for: it records the value agreed, and full hull cover indemnifies with no deduction for depreciation ("new for old"). In the Premium tariff it applies with no age limit, so that years of construction from the 1970s remain eligible for full hull cover as well. Collision and grounding are included.
After five decades, conversions and new technology are the rule. Electronics and permanently installed equipment therefore belong in the schedule when taking out the policy. Covered are then collision, grounding, vandalism and theft of parts including the outboard.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Why is an agreed value settled?
Because it fixes the value in the policy and the indemnity does not depend on an estimated current market value. Replacement is made with no deduction for depreciation ("new for old"), in the Premium tariff with no age limit.
Do devices installed later count as well?
They count if they are recorded in the schedule when taking out the policy. Only then does the agreed value fully reflect the value of the yacht including its equipment.

Series by Scheepswerf Nic. Witsen, build years and cover
Estromon is a motor yacht from Scheepswerf Nic. Witsen, built from 1971 to 1978.
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.
