Worth knowing
Bootswerft Ernst Riss; cover, cost and conditions
Yard-built motor cruisers often stay in the same family for decades. What results is a boat with many individual solutions: retrofitted electrics, a rebuilt galley, an engine other than the one fitted at the yard. Conversions are no problem for the insurance; they simply need to be reported so that value and cover match.
On these boats the electrical system is the main fire risk, usually at wiring that has grown over the years without proper fusing. Fire is covered under limited hull cover, and it can be prevented with an orderly distribution panel, a main fuse and a battery isolator switch that is actually used.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Do I have to report conversions?
Yes, in particular engine changes, electrical conversions and value-increasing installations. They form part of the sum insured.
Is a cable fire insured?
Yes, fire is already included in limited hull cover.

Series by Ernst Riss, with value and cover
Riss cabin cruiser 700 / 850 is a motorboat from Ernst Riss (Germany), built from 1965 to 1995, and today changes hands at between €6,000 and €26,000.
Riss Motorkreuzer 1000 / 1200 is a motor yacht from Ernst Riss (Germany), built from 1970 to 2000, and today changes hands at between €18,000 and €68,000.
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.
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
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.
Models of this make we insure
Each model has its own page with cover, cost and the points that matter for that boat. Your model not listed? We insure it all the same.
