Worth knowing
Dolphin; cover, cost and conditions
Nine model ranges are recorded under the name Dolphin, among them Renegade Pro, Super Skiff Pro, Backcountry Pro and Bay Boat. Most of them have been built since 2007 or 2012 and are still in production today, while the Backbone and the L Series ended in 2021. The same structure applies to all of them: third-party liability as the basis, with limited hull cover or full hull cover on top.
Not every dispute ends with damage to the boat. Anyone who buys second hand and then discovers defects, or who cannot reach agreement with a boatyard, faces a legal question. That is why NAMMERT also offers legal expenses cover for water sports, which covers exactly such disputes.
The full hull cover works with an agreed value and pays compensation with no deduction for depreciation (new for old), in the Premium tariff with no age limit. Collision, grounding, vandalism and theft of parts including the outboard are included. The trailer is covered by the third-party liability free of charge from Basis-Plus, provided it is named in the application with its value. You can add it to the hull cover for a premium.

It supplements third-party liability and hull insurance.
Are older and current Dolphin models equally insurable?
Yes, for Dolphin too: we insure regardless of year of construction,
place of purchase and previous owners.

parts are available and repair costs are predictable.
Even so, value it at replacement cost including retrofitted electronics, not at list price.
For the Dolphin 16' Backbone and Dolphin 16' L Series by Dolphin series 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.
For the Dolphin Centura 18 by Dolphin 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.

Dolphin 16' Super Skiff Pro by Dolphin 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.
