Worth knowing
Jackson Kayak; cover, cost and conditions
Jackson Kayak builds whitewater and fishing kayaks in Tennessee that are a benchmark in both segments, Antix and Nirvana in whitewater, Bite and Coosa as fishing kayaks with stand-up capability and extensive equipment. The fishing kayaks are the more interesting part in insurance terms, because the equipment exceeds the value of the boat.
On a well-equipped fishing kayak there are a fish finder, rod holders, an anchor, a pedal drive, a cool box and the fishing tackle, together often worth more than the boat. These items belong individually in the application: electronics as electronics, fishing tackle as accessories. Only declared values are indemnified, and a fish finder with transducer and battery is a four-figure item.
In whitewater the picture shifts: there the accident cover is the important component, because the risk of injury is the actual risk. Contact with rock in normal use is not a hull claim, that is part of operating the boat. What is covered is the event: gashing, collision, loss of the boat on an open stretch. We do not offer boat third-party liability for muscle-powered kayaks.
