Worth knowing
Checkmate; cover, cost and conditions
29 model ranges are recorded under this name, among them the Convincor 220, the Convincor 242 Sport and the models 253, 283 and D.283 DeLuxe from the build years 1994 to 2003. No overall type of boat is held on file for the brand, which is why cover is based solely on the data of the individual boat.
The basis of every policy is third-party liability with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros in the levels Basis, Basis-Plus and Premium. Limited hull cover and full hull cover build on that. Up to a sum insured of 2.5 million euros you take out cover online, above that an individual assessment follows with cover set case by case.
Limited hull cover comprises fire, storm, lightning strike, theft of the entire boat and damage in winter storage. Full hull cover adds collision, grounding, vandalism and theft of parts and works with an agreed value.
