Berth, season and winter storage
The boat comes ashore for the winter. Frost is the most expensive damage of the year here: a cooling circuit left full cracks the engine block. Insurers treat that as a breach of a duty of care rather than as an accident, whoever the insurer is. Read what your own conditions require of you before the boat is lifted out. 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. 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, Arma di Taggia, is 4.6 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 slipway is 2.2 kilometres to the west. Whether a fee applies is not recorded in the map data. 10 slipways are recorded within thirty kilometres.
The nearest berths: Arma di Taggia, 4.6 kilometres to the west, San Lorenzo al Mare Marina, 4.9 kilometres to the north-east and Portosole Sanremo, 10.6 kilometres to the west. 13 other berths are recorded within 25 kilometres.
What this berth means for your policy
Italy requires third party liability cover, for powered craft and for sailing boats with an auxiliary engine, during transport and storage in the country as well and not only under way. The statutory minimum is 6,450,000 euros for personal injury and 1,300,000 euros for property damage. 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 no cover to west-south-west: in that direction there is no land within sixty kilometres. It is also open to the south-west and south-south-west. In a gale from west-south-west the sea runs in over the full distance, and the berth is then the most dangerous place for the boat.
Questions and answers
What owners ask about this berth
Which cruising range do I need for Marina degli Aregai, Santo Stefano al Mare?
In the calculator this berth belongs to the cruising range Gardasee & italienische Seen. 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.
Is my boat insured in winter storage?
Hull cover normally applies ashore as well, including storm damage on the cradle and theft from the yard, but two things decide the case. A policy written for a season usually pauses over the winter months and then carries nothing at all, and frost damage to a cooling circuit that was not drained counts as a breach of a duty of care rather than as an accident.
Does the harbour ask for proof of insurance?
Yes, and during transport and storage ashore as well, not only under way. 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.
