Worth knowing
Rainbow Kayaks; cover, cost and conditions
Rainbow Kayaks builds plastic kayaks in Italy for leisure and touring use, widespread on the Adriatic and in the Mediterranean region, sit-on-top boats and closed kayaks made of polyethylene in the lower to middle price segment. For insurance they are a typical case of the question which module is worthwhile.
With a boat value in the mid three-figure to low four-figure range, hull insurance is above all of interest because of theft. A sit-on-top kayak lies on the beach, at the boathouse or on the roof rack and is carried off in seconds. The full hull cover covers theft from locked rooms and vehicles as well as from the mooring. Secure the boat with a lock when it is left unattended.
For use in the Mediterranean the cruising range level North Sea/Baltic Sea and Mediterranean applies. Anyone paddling in Croatia, Italy or Greece needs it; the EU inland level is not enough. We do not write boat third-party liability for muscle-powered kayaks, so check your private liability insurance, especially if you are out in areas with bathing activity and motorboat traffic.
