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. A crane or slipway is recorded on site, so the boat does not have to be moved elsewhere to come out. That matters beyond convenience: lifting, slipping and road transport are a separate kind of loss, and not every policy includes them. Shore power is available, and with it the most common cause of fire at a pontoon: a charger and a battery left working unattended over the winter. Fire is covered in any tariff; a fire traced to a demonstrably improper installation is not. The nearest berth, Marina Cubatão, is 10.4 kilometres away.
How exposed the berth lies
Each spoke shows how far the water is open in that direction, up to sixty kilometres. The highlighted spoke is the direction the sea runs in furthest from. Calculated from the coastline, not measured.
The nearest berths: Marina Cubatão, 10.4 kilometres to the north, Marina VillaReal, 16.8 kilometres to the north-east and Marina Iperoba, 21.3 kilometres to the north-east. 4 other berths are recorded within 25 kilometres.
What this berth means for your policy
On this route it is not the local compulsory insurance that decides your cover, but two other things: whether the agreed cruising range takes in this ocean at all, and what your conditions say about the cyclone season. On arrival almost every authority asks for a certificate of insurance, and the International Certificate of Insurance for pleasure craft is the paper they mean. There are no tropical cyclones here. What remains is the trade wind with its steady sea, and the swell that was born in a storm a thousand miles away and still makes the berth unusable. 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. By the coastline the berth has some 10 kilometres of open fetch from east-south-east, less from the other directions. That is the distance over which a gale builds its sea before it reaches the pontoon.
Questions and answers
What owners ask about this berth
Does my policy apply here at all?
That depends on the agreed cruising range, and it is the most common reason a long distance claim fails. In the calculator this berth belongs to the cruising range Blue water and circumnavigation. If your policy names something narrower, the narrower wording wins, however high the sum insured. The range can be extended before you leave, not after the loss.
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.
What does a salvage cost this far out?
More than the boat. A salvage in the Pacific or the Caribbean means a tug from another country, day rates in dollars and, at the end, wreck removal if the boat cannot be saved. Check what your conditions cap salvage and wreck removal at: a limit of ten per cent of the sum insured is common and rarely enough.
