Worth knowing
Rainbow Kayaks; cover, cost and conditions
Rainbow Kayaks builds plastic kayaks in Italy for leisure and touring use, widespread on the Adriatic and in the Mediterranean region, sit-on-top boats and closed kayaks made of polyethylene in the lower to middle price segment. For insurance they are a typical case of the question which module is worthwhile.
With a boat value in the mid three-figure to low four-figure range, hull insurance is above all of interest because of theft. A sit-on-top kayak lies on the beach, at the boathouse or on the roof rack and is carried off in seconds. The full hull cover covers theft from locked rooms and vehicles as well as from the mooring. Secure the boat with a lock when it is left unattended.
For use in the Mediterranean the cruising range level North Sea/Baltic Sea and Mediterranean applies. Anyone paddling in Croatia, Italy or Greece needs it; the EU inland level is not enough. We do not write boat third-party liability for muscle-powered kayaks, so check your private liability insurance, especially if you are out in areas with bathing activity and motorboat traffic.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Do I need an extension for Croatia?
Yes, the North Sea/Baltic Sea and Mediterranean level. The EU inland level only covers rivers and inland waters.
Is theft from the beach covered?
From the mooring and from locked rooms and vehicles, yes. Secure the boat with a lock when it is left unattended.
The cover that fits

Nautical information What counts before you cast off, papers, equipment, waters
Licence
No licence required; muscle-powered craft are licence-free, federal waterways included.
Registration
No registration required. Some waters do ask for a local permit or sticker before you launch.
Waters
Inland lakes, rivers and the coast, mind nature-reserve rules; many stretches are closed seasonally.
Equipment
Buoyancy aid or lifejacket, buoyancy bags in the boat, spraydeck, a waterproof case for phone and papers, a whistle.
Cruising range
The agreed cruising range is stated in the policy and can be extended for a single trip at any time.
Weather
Offshore wind is the main risk: it carries you away from the bank and makes the return hard. Check wind direction and the gust forecast before you launch.
General guidance, not a complete account; what governs are the rules of the waters you are on and your boat’s manual. Current wind force and direction for your waters are shown on the Home.

On a kayak accident cover comes first; liability is usually handled by your private policy. Hull cover deals with theft and transit damage.
As the series is 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.
