Worth knowing

Vanguard Marine; cover, cost and conditions

A RIB, too, spends months ashore. With us the cover expressly applies in winter storage, during craning and launching as well as while in transit; damage in winter storage is already included in the limited hull cover. A rigid inflatable boat from Vanguard Marine is therefore insured in summer as well as in winter.

From the tender to the sports RIB, the range of the Spanish yard covers boats from 4 to 9 m in length. The model ranges DR 460 / 560 and Thunder Jet have been built since 2005, the Vanguard 7.6 / 9.0 since 2010, all of them to this day. What counts for the premium are value, year of construction, engine power and cruising range, not the brand name.

A Thunder Jet is already sailing in our own portfolio. On a RIB a great deal of value hangs on the outboard: full hull cover includes theft of parts including the outboard and pays compensation with no deduction for depreciation (new for old), and collision, grounding and vandalism are covered in addition.
