Worth knowing
Vast Channel; cover, cost and conditions
One inflatable boat is listed, the Mini-Cruiser with years of construction from 1991 to 1998. With small boats too, the third-party liability forms the basis: it can be selected with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros, in the levels Basis, Basis-Plus and Premium.
A 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, and the cover applies during launching, during craning, in winter storage and on the transport route. You can add it to the hull cover for a premium. Limited hull cover takes on fire, storm, lightning strike, theft of the entire boat and damage in winter storage.
For the premium, the type of boat, value, year of construction, engine power or sail area and the cruising range count. The brand does not enter into it. We accept boats from the nineties regardless of the year of construction, the place of purchase and previous owners, in full hull cover with an agreed value.
