Worth knowing
Björn Boote; cover, cost and conditions
Two motorboats are held in our portfolio, the Björn 500 built from 1998 to 2004 and the Björn 550 built from 2000 to 2006. Production therefore lies in the past, and every boat of these ranges is a used boat today. For the value we set an agreed value, which is paid out in the event of a claim with no deduction for depreciation (new for old).
With older boats, owners often ask whether the engine and the equipment are still replaced in full after so many years. In the Premium tariff, compensation is paid with no deduction for depreciation and without any age limit. What forms part of the agreed value is recorded in the schedule when you take out the policy.
We have no further details about the yard, and in any case it is the boat that is insured and not the name on it. We accept boats regardless of year of construction, place of purchase and previous owners, including boats from small production runs. The premium follows from the type of boat, the value, the year of construction, the engine power and the cruising range.
