Worth knowing
GSM; cover, cost and conditions
Four motor yacht ranges are recorded, the GSM 35, 37 and 41 as well as the GSM Trawler 37, built between 1977 and 1985. At the beginning of every contract for such a boat stands third-party liability, because it covers the damage you cause to others with the boat.
NAMMERT offers it with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros in the tariff levels Basis, Basis-Plus and Premium. Only then do limited hull cover and full hull cover build on it. Many harbours require proof of third-party liability before a berth is allocated at all.
For yachts from this construction period the agreed value is also important. It is set when the policy is taken out, settlement is made with no deduction for depreciation ("new for old"), in the Premium tariff without an age limit. The year of build, the place of purchase and previous owners do not stand in the way of a policy.
