Worth knowing
Fost; cover, cost and conditions
In our records, Fost stands for 22 RIB and inflatable models built from 2004 into current production. The Matrix, Obsession, Dream and Drop lines define the fleet, joined by the F-Revolution, the 11.72 m Sharp 39 Cruiser and the Tender 3.60. Lengths run from 2.6 to 11.7 m.
The span from 2.6 to 11.7 m calls for a precise declaration of value and cruising area: small Fost tenders run on liability as the foundation and, being trailerable, with transport protection in the hull cover, while large RIBs like the Sharp 39 need cover at their actual value.
NAMMERT insures Fost RIBs regardless of build year and place of purchase. The online calculator works out your premium in 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does NAMMERT insure a Fost Matrix 32?
Yes. The nearly 10 m Fost Matrix 32 can be insured with liability and hull cover, including the Cabin and Diving variants.
Does NAMMERT insure large Fost RIBs too?
Yes. Our records extend to the 11.72 m Sharp 39 Cruiser; what matters here is cover based on the actual value.

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 an inflatable the cause decides, not the damage: a tear from impact is covered, porous fabric after years in the sun is not. The outboard belongs in the policy with its serial number.
As the series is still in production, parts are available and repairs are predictable. Still, set the value at replacement cost, including sails, rigging or gear you bought later.
Even without an engine the rule holds: a tear from impact or vandalism is covered, UV ageing is wear.
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.
