Frequently asked questions

Not in Germany. In Italy, Croatia, Denmark and several other countries liability cover for your rowing boat is required by law, and many marinas ask for proof as well. Our tariffs meet the minimum limits and the international certificate of insurance is available in ten languages.

What does a rowing boat policy cost?

For your rowing boat, liability starts at roughly €39 a year, partial hull cover from €199 and full hull cover from €219. The premium depends on value, engine power, year of build and cruising area, the online calculator gives you an exact figure in minutes.

Yes. Simply state the berth of your rowing boat in the application; with NAMMERT it does not have to be in Germany, and for blue-water cover it does not even have to be in Europe.
