04Liability if something happens

The prospective buyer confirms holding the licence required for this boat and undertakes to handle her carefully. If damage occurs during the sea trial that the owner's hull insurance meets, the prospective buyer reimburses the owner the agreed deductible together with the disadvantage arising from the loss of the no-claims discount.

Deductible under the policy (€)

Reimbursement for the no-claims discount (€ / lump sum)

Deposit lodged (€ / no)

Where the prospective buyer acts with intent or gross negligence, any further claims of the owner remain unaffected. Damage to third parties is met by the owner's boat liability cover; it attaches to the vessel and covers every authorised helmsman holding the licence required.

05Condition after the trip
