Worth knowing
Crestliner; cover, cost and conditions
Crestliner (the USA) belongs to the motorboats and sports boats class. For the insurance the builder is never a reason to decline: what decides is the type of boat, its year, its value, its engine output and the waters you sail, the five figures you enter in the online calculator.
Which cover suits a Crestliner? Liability is the foundation and settles injury, property and financial damage to third parties with €10 m to €50 m. Hull cover protects your own boat: partial cover for fire, storm, lightning, theft of the whole boat and damage in winter storage; full cover adds collision, grounding, vandalism and theft of parts, the outboard included.
What does insurance for a Crestliner cost? The premium starts from €49 a year for liability and follows value, year built, engine output or sail area, and cruising range. Full cover settles at the agreed value, with no deduction for new-for-old.
Bought used, imported, or ordered straight from the yard: we write Crestliner with a berth in Germany and abroad alike. The international certificate of insurance reaches you automatically in ten languages, and taking cover out before the handover pays off; the launch and the road transport are then already covered.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does NAMMERT insure boats built by Crestliner?
Yes. The builder does not decide insurability here; type, value, year, output and cruising range do. We also write small series and home-built boats.
What does cover for a Crestliner cost?
Cover starts from €49 a year for liability; the exact premium takes a few minutes in the online calculator.
How high should the liability sum be?
We write €10 m to €50 m. The higher sum costs little more and covers the one case that has no natural ceiling: injury to a person.
On a total loss, do I get the replacement value?
Under full cover, yes; at the agreed value, and in the Premium tariff without limit and with no deduction for new-for-old.
Can I switch from my existing insurer?
Yes. Our switching service cancels the old contract free of charge and you keep a permanent switching discount. You pay only once the old contract has run out.

Nautical information What counts before you cast off, papers, equipment, waters
Licence

Registration
Registration from 3 hp; carry the fishing permit and licence as well.
Waters
Club waters, lakes, lagoons and the coast, mind closed seasons and restricted areas.

Cruising range
On lagoons and the coast check the forecast in the morning and plan the return against the wind.
Weather
Small boats from Beaufort 4 only with experience; break off early when summer cells build.
General guidance, not a complete account; what governs are the rules of the waters you are on and your boat’s manual. Current wind force and direction for your waters are shown on the Home.

For a series of this age there is no list price left. That is why we work with an agreed value: you state the figure, we agree it, and in a total loss exactly that amount is paid, with no deduction for wear.
On a fishing boat the gear is often worth more than expected: sounder, trolling motor and rods are covered as equipment if they are listed.
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.
For a series built in these years the market value and the replacement cost often differ widely. An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
