Worth knowing
Cantiere Colombo; cover, cost and conditions
Colombo has been building boats with the typical lobster line on Lake Como for decades. Well-kept examples hold their value and some even rise. For insurance purposes this means that the depreciated value systematically underestimates these boats, that an agreed value based on the market value is the right approach, and that it should be adjusted after every refit.
On the lake there is a further focus of losses of its own: thunderstorm squalls off the mountains that build up within minutes. Storm is covered under the limited hull cover, provided the boat is properly moored. Anyone whose berth lies in an open bay should regard fenders and lines as an investment, not as an accessory.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does the sum insured rise along with a classic?
Only if you adjust the agreed value. With us this is done informally and it makes sense after every refit.
Is storm damage at the berth covered?
Yes, storm is part of the limited hull cover. After a storm, photograph the condition and report the damage promptly.

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 motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
On motor yachts the drive and the electronics together make up about half the value. Both belong in the valuation, otherwise the sum insured is too low.
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.
