Worth knowing
M.K.B.W.; cover, cost and conditions
Engine power is one of the details that determine the premium, alongside the type of boat, the value, the year of construction and the cruising range. For the Waddenkruiser, the only range recorded for M.K.B.W., what counts is the engine that is on board today and not the equipment of earlier days.
The Waddenkruiser is listed with years of construction from 1964 to 1978. With such a long gap since production, the agreed value is the fixed point of the contract: it is set when the policy is taken out and paid out with no deduction for depreciation (new for old), in the Premium tariff with no age limit.
We insure regardless of the year of construction, the place of purchase and previous owners, and small series and home-built boats can be insured too. Third-party liability with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros forms the basis, with limited hull cover and full hull cover on top. Up to a sum insured of 2.5 million euros you take out the policy online.
