Worth knowing
Swift Craft; cover, cost and conditions
Seven motorboat ranges are recorded, among them Bahia, Sabinal, Stiletto and Surco 21, with years of construction from 1978 to 1992. Production has ended. For the premium of a motorboat, alongside value and year of construction it is above all the installed power that counts.
Added to that are the type of boat and the cruising range. Two boats of the same length can therefore be rated differently, depending on engine fit and sailing area. The name of the yard never affects the premium, neither with old boats nor with new ones. What matters are the details you give about the boat when taking out the policy.
For boats from the eighties we agree an agreed value instead of a current market value, in the Premium tariff with no age limit, and we indemnify with no deduction for depreciation (new for old). Year of construction, place of purchase and previous owners are no obstacle to acceptance. The 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.
