Worth knowing
Vitters Shipyard; cover, cost and conditions
In Zwartsluis, Vitters builds sailing yachts as one-offs between 30 and 70 metres, aluminium hulls, frequently with a lifting keel and retractable rudder, for owners who want to sail large yachts in shallow waters. They are technically demanding one-of-a-kind vessels.
On yachts of this class with a movable keel and rudder the mechanics are a subject of cover in their own right: hydraulics, guides, locking devices, under considerable forces. Grounding damage is covered, wear is not, and the inspection requirements are part of the underwriting. The calculator goes up to a sum insured of 2.5 million euros, for yachts of this size please contact us directly.
