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. 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, Stichting Passantenhaven Terschelling, is 11.6 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 0.2 kilometres to the north-west. Whether a fee applies is not recorded in the map data. 15 slipways are recorded within thirty kilometres.

The nearest berths: Stichting Passantenhaven Terschelling, 11.6 kilometres to the north-east, Dellewal, 11.7 kilometres to the north-east and Jachthaven De Leeuwenbrug — Noorderhaven, 25.6 kilometres to the south-east. 2 other berths are recorded within 25 kilometres.

What this berth means for your policy

The Netherlands have no general insurance requirement, but marinas require liability cover through the berth contract. Anyone going beyond the IJsselmeer onto the North Sea needs a cruising range that includes the coast. 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 is exposed to south-south-west: some 46 kilometres of open water run towards it from there. It is also open to east-north-east and the south. That is the direction the sea comes from in a gale.

Questions and answers

What owners ask about this berth

Which cruising range do I need for Waddenhaven Vlieland?

In the calculator this berth belongs to the cruising range Niederlande. 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?

There is no legal requirement, but the berth contract almost always demands liability cover in so many words. 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.
