Worth knowing
Broadblue Catamarans Ltd.; cover, cost and conditions
Broadblue Catamarans is listed with 9 models, all sailing catamarans. The range covers the Broadblue 345 S2, 346, 385, 385 S3, 415, 435 and 500 and the faster Rapier 400 and 550. Build years run since 2002, lengths from 10.2 to 16.8 m.
Catamarans have their own risk profile. The beam calls for special berths and makes craning and slipping more involved, and a substantial share of damage arises exactly there. The fast Rapier models also bring higher loads on rig and fittings, which is why racing should be expressly agreed.
NAMMERT insures Broadblue catamarans regardless of build year and place of purchase, including boats bought directly in Britain. If the boat is chartered out, that must be stated in the policy, because charter operation is a different risk from private use. You can calculate the premium for liability and hull cover in the online calculator in about 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
What changes if I charter out my catamaran?
Charter is commercial use. Liability towards guests, changing skippers and more operating hours are added. That belongs explicitly in the policy, otherwise the basis is missing after a loss.
Is damage during craning covered?
Under hull cover yes, if it results from an event. On catamarans craning is more demanding because of the beam, so it is worth checking that time ashore and lifting are included.

As the series is still in production, parts are available and repair costs are predictable. Even so, value it at replacement cost including retrofitted electronics, not at list price.
On catamarans the bridgedeck between the hulls is the sensitive part, and the berth belongs in the application: double width often means a mooring rather than a marina.
For a series built in these years the market value and the replacement cost often differ widely. An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
