Worth knowing
Linder Aluminiumboote; cover, cost and conditions
In Sweden, Linder builds aluminium boats between three and six metres in length, light, unsinkable fishing and leisure boats that are basic equipment on the lakes in Scandinavia and are widespread in Germany as fishing boats. Aluminium is the difference that matters for insurance: no osmosis risk, no laminate age, but corrosion and deformation as issues instead.
Aluminium corrosion arises above all from galvanic corrosion, when stainless steel fittings, copper cables or an engine made of a different metal lie directly against the hull. That is a maintenance issue and not an insured event. What hull insurance covers is mechanical damage: collision, grounding, storm damage, transport damage. A dented aluminium hull can be repaired, but the dent often remains visible, and on a boat with a four-figure value that is a question of economic viability.
For most Linder owners the engine output is the decisive point. Below 15 hp no licence is required, and from 3 hp the registration requirement applies. Third-party liability is the core of the policy: a fishing boat sails in waters where swimmers, other boats and commercial shipping are on the move, and personal injury has nothing to do with the value of the boat.
