Worth knowing

Berger; cover, cost and conditions

Under the name Berger, 22 models are recorded: 11 inflatables, 10 small motorboats and one RIB. The largest share is made up of the Lomac inflatables in sizes 260 to 600 and the Lomac 750 as a rigid hull version, together with the small Baby, Baby Sport and Junior motorboats. Build years run from 1974 to 2003, lengths from 2.6 to 7.5 m.

On boats of this size liability cover is the core of the protection, because damage to someone else's yacht easily exceeds the value of your own boat many times over. Hull cover is worthwhile above all for the engine and the theft risk: inflatable and outboard are quickly loaded away and usually disappear together.

As the recorded build years end in 2003, these boats are used boats today. NAMMERT insures them regardless of build year and place of purchase. The condition of the tubes largely determines the value, so an honest assessment is worthwhile when stating the sum insured. You can calculate the premium for liability and hull cover in the online calculator in about 5 minutes.

Questions and answers

Frequent questions

My boat is called Lomac and was bought from Berger. Which brand applies?

For Berger: Both entries lead to the same record with us.

In any case what counts for the policy is length, build year, engine power,

value and cruising area, not the spelling on the purchase contract.

How do I estimate the value of an old inflatable?

For Berger: From the condition of the tubes and from the engine.

A porous tube lowers the value noticeably, a new outboard raises it.

State a realistic figure so that the sum holds up after a loss.

The cover that fits

For Berger: What matters for inflatables and RIBs is the same across every brand; engine output,

how a claim is settled, cruising range and theft protection.
