Worth knowing
Bootsbau Hellwig; cover, cost and conditions
Hellwig boats have been on German inland waters for decades, many of them with a second or third owner. The Marathon range is the core, joined by Korfu, Kreta and the electrically powered Elektra. For insurance purposes these are small boats with stable values, where the depreciated value says little about the actual replacement price.
That is why the agreed value is the means of choice here. A well-kept boat from the eighties with a new engine costs a multiple on the market of what a pure depreciated-value calculation produces. Photos, invoices for the engine and the refit and a short condition report are enough to set the agreed value realistically.
With the electric models it is worth looking at the battery. First-generation gel lead systems are wearing parts, whereas modern lithium retrofits are a value factor that belongs in the sum insured. Report the conversion so that value and cover match.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How do I insure a forty-year-old boat correctly?
For Hellwig: With an agreed value based on the replacement value rather than on the depreciated
value.
Documents covering the engine, the refit and the equipment help to substantiate the value.
Is a retrofitted electric drive covered as well?
Yes, for Hellwig too: if it has been reported and taken into account in the value.
This also applies to the battery, provided it is a permanent part of the boat.

For the Florett 140 / 165 and Junior / Jet by Hellwig 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.
For the Marathon 470 / 485, Marathon V 460 bis V 525,
Korfu / Kreta by Hellwig and 5 more 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 Florett 140 / 165, Junior / Jet, Marathon 470 / 485 by Hellwig 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.
For the Elektra 460 by Hellwig series: On an electric boat the battery is the largest single item.
It belongs in the sum insured, otherwise the most expensive part is missing in a total loss.
