Worth knowing
Skater Powerboats; cover, cost and conditions
Behind Skater Powerboats are racing catamarans from Michigan, in lengths from 9 to 15 metres. Two ranges are recorded: Skater 32 / 388 Catamaran since 1995 and Skater 46 / 50 Race since 2005, both continuing to this day. Skater catamarans are used almost exclusively for racing, and that is exactly what has to be put on the table when taking out the policy.
Club races are included from the Basis-Plus tariff level upwards. You state races with ranking status when taking out the policy so that the contract matches the actual use. Without this information it remains open what applies in competitive use, which is why we clarify this point in advance.
What counts for the premium is the type of boat, value, year of construction, engine power and cruising range. With heavily powered boats the engine power carries corresponding weight, whereas the brand does not enter into it. Full hull cover includes collision, grounding, vandalism and theft of parts including the outboard, with an agreed value and no deduction for depreciation (new for old).
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
What do I have to state about racing?
You state races with ranking status when taking out the policy. Club races are included from Basis-Plus upwards. This makes it clear from the outset which use is carried by the contract.
Does high engine power affect the premium?
Yes, engine power is one of the premium factors alongside the type of boat, value, year of construction and cruising range. The premium, by contrast, never depends on the brand, in any tariff level.
The cover that fits

Series by Skater Powerboats, with value and cover
Skater 32 / 388 Catamaran is a motorboat from Skater Powerboats (the USA), built since 1995, and today changes hands at between €190,000 and €590,000.
Skater 46 / 50 Race is a motor yacht from Skater Powerboats (the USA), built since 2005, and today changes hands at between €590,000 and €1,600,000.
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.
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.
