Worth knowing
Suter; cover, cost and conditions
Two ranges are recorded, the Waddi motor boat and the open Waddicat catamaran, both from 1986 to 1993. The basis of every cover is third-party liability with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros, selectable in the levels Basis, Basis-Plus and Premium.
Limited hull cover and full hull cover build on this. Limited hull cover bears fire, storm, lightning strike, theft of the whole boat and damage in winter storage; full hull cover additionally bears collision, grounding, vandalism and theft of parts including the outboard.
Both ranges ended in 1993, so the boats on the water today are second-hand. We insure regardless of year of construction, place of purchase and previous owners and pay according to the agreed value with no deduction for depreciation (new for old). A boat trailer is covered by the third-party liability at no extra premium from Basis-Plus, provided it is named in the application with its value. You can add it to the hull cover for a premium.

Series by Suter, build years and cover
Waddi is a motorboat from Suter, built from 1986 to 1993.
Waddicat is an open catamaran from Suter, built from 1986 to 1993.
For the Waddi and Waddicat by Suter series there is no list price left.
That is why we work with an agreed value: you state the figure, we agree it,
and in a total loss exactly that amount is paid, with no deduction for wear.
For the Waddi by Suter series: On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part.
Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
For the Waddicat by Suter series: Open catamarans are beached and trailed,
so most damage happens ashore and in transit, not on the water.
