Beneteau First 40: cover, cost and conditions
Beneteau First 40 (forty): for the premium the model name is not the deciding figure. What counts is the type of boat, its year, its value, its engine output and the waters you sail, the five entries you make in the online calculator.
What does cover for a Beneteau First 40 (forty) cost? The premium starts from €39 a year for a sailing boat, from €49 for a motorboat. For a Beneteau First 40 at the usual market value of €114,000 the premium is €1,709 a year: liability and hull in Basis-Plus, North Sea, Baltic and Mediterranean, about 95 m² of sail, hull excess €500, paid annually. Hull cover accounts for €1,590, liability for €119. Tariff as of 20.10.2026, your own boat may differ. Hull cover follows the value: partial cover answers for fire, storm, lightning, theft of the whole boat and damage in winter storage; full cover adds collision, grounding, vandalism and theft of parts. On a total loss we pay the agreed value, and in the Premium tariff with no deduction for new-for-old.
Bought used, imported or ordered new: we write the Beneteau First 40 (forty) with a berth in Germany and abroad alike. The international certificate of insurance reaches you automatically in ten languages, and taking cover out before the handover pays off, because transport and the first launch are then already covered.
Not to be mixed up with its sisters: this is the Beneteau First 40, number forty.
