Worth knowing
Check Marine; cover, cost and conditions
Seven model ranges are recorded here, all listed as motorboats: Dolphin 16, Dolphin 16 Fisherman, Dolphin 17, Dolphin 19 and Dolphin 21 as well as Check 17 and Pilot 17. The years of construction run from 1991 to 2005. No information on country and segment is available, yet such a boat can still be insured.
After a second-hand purchase the question arises which value is stated in the policy. Full hull cover works with an agreed value and indemnifies with no deduction for depreciation, in the Premium tariff with no age limit. The indemnity therefore does not depend on the market value on the day of the loss.
When buying a boat from these years of construction, a dispute with the seller or the yard can arise. We also offer legal expenses cover for water sports; it applies after the purchase of a used boat just as it does in disputes with a yard. Third-party liability and hull insurance remain unaffected.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How do I know which value applies in the event of a claim?
For Check Marine: The value is agreed as an agreed value and applies with no deduction for
depreciation.
In the Premium tariff the age limit does not apply,
so that even a boat from 1991 is covered at the agreed value.
Can I insure a boat without information about the yard?
Yes, for Check Marine too: No information on country or segment is available for this brand,
and that changes nothing.
Small series and home-built boats can also be insured,
regardless of place of purchase and previous owners.

how a claim is settled and the waters you sail.

An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
For the Dolphin 17 by Check Marine series there is no list price left.
That is why we work with an agreed value: you state the figure, we agree it,
and in a total loss exactly that amount is paid, with no deduction for wear.
For the Dolphin 16, Dolphin 16 Fisherman, Dolphin 19 by Check Marine and further series:
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part.
Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
