Worth knowing
Porta Bote; cover, cost and conditions
Four motor boat ranges are recorded: the Porta 8, the Porta 10 and the Porta 12 since 1994, the Porta 14 since 2001, all built to this day. Anyone taking on one of these boats arranges an agreed value in the full hull cover, and compensation is paid with no deduction for depreciation ("new for old"), in the Premium tariff with no age limit.
The full hull cover covers collision, grounding, vandalism and theft of parts including the outboard. The limited hull cover carries fire, storm, lightning strike, the theft of the whole boat and damage in winter storage.
The cover applies equally ashore, during craning, during launching, in transit and in winter storage, and a boat trailer is covered at no extra premium. The basis remains third-party liability with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros in the Basis, Basis-Plus and Premium levels.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does a 1994 build year of a Porta 8 stand in the way of the policy?
No. We insure regardless of the year of construction, place of purchase and previous owners. The year of construction enters only into the premium calculation, alongside the type of boat, value, engine power and cruising range.
What does the switching service do?
If another boat insurance policy is already running for your boat, NAMMERT cancels the previous policy free of charge. Up to a sum insured of 2.5 million euros the policy can be taken out online; above that an individual assessment follows.

As the series is still in production, parts are available and repair costs are predictable. Even so, value it at replacement cost including retrofitted electronics, not at list price.
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
