Worth knowing
Heitmann GmbH; cover, cost and conditions
Motorboat, motor yacht and sailing yacht stand side by side at Heitmann: the 100, the 250 and the 350 from the years 1995 to 2001, plus the Oste 39 from 1983 to 1991. Anyone taking over one of these units and wishing to change insurer does not have to cancel the previous contract themselves.
The switching service takes care of that, because NAMMERT cancels the previous contract free of charge. You state the type of boat, value, year of construction, engine output or sail area and cruising range, and we do the rest. Up to a sum insured of 2.5 million euros cover is taken out online, above that we examine the individual case.
The fact that the programme is mixed changes nothing about the cover. 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. Limited hull cover applies in the case of fire, storm, lightning strike, theft of the entire boat and damage in winter storage.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Who cancels the existing contract when switching?
We do that. The switching service cancels the previous contract free of charge, so that no gap arises and you do not have to worry about the deadline.
Is a sailing yacht calculated differently from a motor yacht?
Yes. For sailing yachts the sail area counts, for motorboats the engine output. Added to this are the type of boat, value, year of construction and the cruising range.
The cover that fits
For the whole class of boat
What matters for motor yachts is the same across every brand; engine output, how a claim is settled, cruising range and theft protection. The class page lists every point and every brand in this class.

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.
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
On motor yachts the drive and the electronics together make up about half the value. Both belong in the valuation, otherwise the sum insured is too low.
For a series of this age 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.
On sailing yachts the rig and the underwater hull are the expensive parts: a dismasting quickly costs a quarter of the boat, and osmosis counts as wear and is covered by no hull policy.
