Worth knowing
Ally Faltkanadier (Bergans); cover, cost and conditions
Ally builds folding canoes in Norway, an aluminium frame with a boat skin, which pack into two carry bags while achieving the handling of a hard shell canoe. For wilderness trips in Scandinavia and Canada this is the standard solution, because the boat travels as air baggage. It is precisely this transport that matters for insurance.
A folding canoe on a journey is baggage, and baggage gets lost or damaged. Our full hull cover covers transport damage with suitable means of transport and theft from locked rooms and vehicles. For air transport the following applies: it is not automatically included, so please ask before you travel. Damage caused by the airline is in any case first a matter for the airline's own liability.
For trips outside Europe you need the worldwide cruising range level. Canada, Alaska, Siberia: register the trip in advance with the route and the period, and then the cover is stated in the policy. The equipment can be insured as accessories. We do not offer boat third-party liability for muscle-powered boats; as a rule your private liability insurance applies here, and you should check it for validity abroad.
