Worth knowing
Christensen; cover, cost and conditions
The GRP superyachts from Christensen come from Washington in the USA. One model range is recorded, with lengths of 40 to 50 metres and a build period from 1990 to the present day. The yard builds in composite instead of steel, which plays a part in a repair and therefore belongs in the claims handling.
On yachts of this size the sum insured is regularly above 2.5 million euros. Up to that amount the policy can be taken out online; above it we examine each case individually and agree the limit of indemnity and the tariff level with you. The third-party liability cover ranges from 10 to 50 million euros.
You set the cruising range when taking out the policy; alongside the type of boat, value, year of build and engine output it feeds into the premium. You receive the international certificate of insurance automatically in ten languages.
