Berth, season and winter storage
A berth afloat all year round is possible here, which is exactly what makes the season a question. Policies written for a season commonly pause over the winter months, in harbour and ashore alike. Anyone who leaves the boat in the water through the winter should check which months their own cover actually runs. At the pontoon what counts is what the conditions call a duty of care: lines of adequate strength, chafe protection, a working bilge pump and a boat that is not left unchecked for months. This is a small berth and usually without permanent supervision. Pleasant, and a disadvantage in a claim: with no harbour master there is no witness to when the damage happened or how the boat was made fast. The nearest berth, Embarcadero de El Retiro, is 63.7 kilometres away. Tie up here and in a freshening wind there is no harbour within easy reach, and that is the situation the expensive cases come from.
The nearest slipway is 24.9 kilometres to the south-east. Whether a fee applies is not recorded in the map data.
The nearest berths: Embarcadero de El Retiro, 63.7 kilometres to the south, Embarcadero Casa de Campo, 64.2 kilometres to the south and Club Náutico del Embalse Cerro Alarcón, 70.3 kilometres to the south-west. No other berth is recorded within 25 kilometres.
What this berth means for your policy
Spain requires third party liability cover. The statutory minimum is 336,567 euros in total, split between personal injury and property damage, which is lower than any sum we underwrite. Proof belongs on board. Severe gales are rarer here than on the open coast, but the squalls of summer thunderstorms are violent and short. They hit the boat at the pontoon, not at sea: lines chafe through, covers tear, a neighbouring boat comes across.
Questions and answers
What owners ask about this berth
Which cruising range do I need for Marina Aventura Sierra Norte, Buitrago del Lozoya?
In the calculator this berth belongs to the cruising range Spain and the Balearics. The cruising range is the boundary within which a policy applies. Check the wording before you go beyond it: many policies name a narrower area than owners assume, and an extension has to be agreed before the passage, not after the claim.
Can I leave the boat afloat here over winter?
It is possible, but a policy written for a season commonly pauses over the winter months, whether the boat is sailing, lying in harbour or standing ashore. Anyone leaving the boat afloat needs cover that runs the whole year.
Does the harbour ask for proof of insurance?
Yes, liability cover is compulsory in Spain. The statutory minimum is low, but the harbour office asks to see the proof, not the figure. The paper that belongs on board is the International Certificate of Insurance for pleasure craft: it states the cover in a form that is understood across the bordering states.
