Worth knowing
Valk; cover, cost and conditions
Ten model ranges are counted for Valk, eight of which are known to us by name, the Valkvlet types 1000 to 1350 with years of construction from 1999 to 2013 and the Merlin models 1300, 1400 and 1450 since 2018. Nothing is recorded about the type of boat, the size or the country of the brand, and we add nothing there.
Anyone taking over a boat from this programme often still has a contract running with the previous provider. We handle the switch: NAMMERT cancels the old contract free of charge and keeps an eye on the deadlines. The new cover follows on seamlessly, with third-party liability as the basis and either limited hull cover or full hull cover.
Full hull cover includes collision, grounding, vandalism and theft of parts, and compensation is paid with no deduction for depreciation (new for old) on the basis of the agreed value. For trips across the national border we issue the international certificate of insurance automatically in ten languages. There is no time window and no night clause.

As the Merlin 1300, Merlin 1400 and Merlin 1450 by Valk series are 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.
For the Valkvlet Type 1000, Valkvlet Type 1060,
Valkvlet Type 1130 OK by Valk and 2 more series the market value and the replacement cost often
differ widely.
An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
For the Valkvlet 1230 AK and Valkvlet 1160 OKAK by Valk 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 Merlin 1300, Merlin 1400, Merlin 1450 by Valk 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 Valkvlet Type 1000, Valkvlet Type 1060, Valkvlet Type 1130 OK by Valk and further series:
On motor yachts the drive and the electronics together make up about half the value.
Both belong in the valuation, otherwise the sum insured is too low.
