Worth knowing
Thanetcraft; cover, cost and conditions
Thanetcraft stands for 7 models in the data set: four inflatables, two RIBs and one small motorboat. The range runs from the Alustar 31 at 3.1 m via the Alustar 52 Sport to the Alustar 85 at 8.5 m, plus the Thanet Dink at 2 m. Build years lie between 1990 and 1999.
Two points matter for Thanetcraft insurance. Inflatables and RIBs of this size are trailerable; liability cover is the base and hull cover includes trailer transport. As all boats date from the 1990s, the value should be set realistically, ideally as an agreed fixed value.
NAMMERT insures Thanetcraft boats regardless of build year and place of purchase. The premium can be calculated in the online calculator in about 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does NAMMERT insure an Alustar RIB by Thanetcraft?
Yes. The Alustar 66 and 85 at 8 and 8.5 m can be insured, as can the smaller inflatables. Engine and trailer belong in the insured sum.
Can Thanetcraft boats from the 1990s still be insured?
Yes. All models date from 1990 to 1999, and the build year is no obstacle. What matters is a realistically set value.

Nautical information What counts before you cast off, papers, equipment, waters
Licence
Required inland and at sea from 15 hp (11.03 kW); below that, none.
Registration
Registration from 3 hp; carry the boat certificate on maritime shipping routes.
Waters
Inland lakes, the coast and the Wadden Sea, mind the tide tables and the fairway.
Equipment
Lifejackets, paddles, pump, repair kit, anchor gear and signalling equipment.
Cruising range
RIBs close to the coast; check air pressure before every trip and after temperature swings.
Weather
From Beaufort 4 the ride turns hard, and offshore wind sharply raises the risk of drifting.
General guidance, not a complete account; what governs are the rules of the waters you are on and your boat’s manual. Current wind force and direction for your waters are shown on the Home.

For a series of this age 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.
Even without an engine the rule holds: a tear from impact or vandalism is covered, UV ageing is wear.
On an inflatable the cause decides, not the damage: a tear from impact is covered, porous fabric after years in the sun is not. The outboard belongs in the policy with its serial number.
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
