Working out the cost of charter deposit insurance, premium and deductible when chartering
Working out the cost before chartering is simple:
the premium is usually around nine per cent of the deposit lodged.
Calculator
Charter companies ask for a deposit, usually between fifteen hundred and four thousand euros, that covers the deductible on the boat insurance. It is blocked when you take over the boat and released when you bring her back undamaged. If there is any damage the deposit is gone, however small it is.
Charter deposit insurance pays that amount back to you. It is neither liability cover nor hull cover; it covers exactly the deductible that the charterer carries. On a deposit of two thousand five hundred euros it costs around two hundred and twenty euros for the charter.
If you charter regularly, you should also look at skipper liability. Some boat policies include it and apply it to chartered boats as well, sometimes with a limit on boat size.
