We will sort it

Three tacks and you're off

  1. Tell us what she's worth

    Value of the yacht, sail area, cruising area. That is all the calculator needs for a first figure, and it takes about a minute.

  2. Decide over a cuppa

    Happy with the figure? Carry on online. Rather talk it through? We ring you back and go through it together, no pressure.

  3. Something breaks? One call.

    One number for everything: report it to us, we line up surveyor and boatyard and keep at it until the bill is paid.

Plain numbers, no small print

Frequently asked questions

Is boat insurance compulsory?

Not in Germany. In Italy, Spain, Croatia (from 15 kW), Greece, Denmark and on Swiss waters liability cover for your sailing yacht 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 sailing yacht policy cost?

For your sailing yacht, 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.

Can my berth be outside Germany?

Yes. Simply state the berth of your sailing yacht 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.

How do I report a claim?

Report it online in the customer portal or call us. As an underwriting agency with claims-settlement authority we assess, survey and settle claims on your sailing yacht ourselves, which keeps the process short.
