Worth knowing
Bristol Boats; cover, cost and conditions
One motor yacht belongs to the record, the Bristol Banker 42 with years of construction from 1979 to 1986. No further model ranges are available and production has ended. Such a boat can nevertheless be insured without restriction, because we provide cover regardless of the year of construction, the place of purchase and previous owners.
Over the winter a motor yacht of this kind stands in the shed or on the yard. The cover continues to apply there, and likewise during craning and during launching.
With a boat from the 1980s the agreed value is what counts. Settlement is made with no deduction for depreciation (new for old), in the Premium tariff with no age limit. The premium is based on the type of boat, engine output, value, year of construction and cruising range, never on the brand, and the boat trailer is covered by the third-party liability at no extra premium from Basis-Plus, provided it is named in the application with its value. You can add it to the hull cover for a premium.
