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. 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, Yachthafen Neumagen-Dhron, is 11.2 kilometres away.
The nearest slipway is 0.1 kilometres to the south-west. Whether a fee applies is not recorded in the map data. 62 slipways are recorded within thirty kilometres.

What this berth means for your policy
Germany has no general insurance requirement for pleasure craft. The harbour will still ask for proof in almost every case, in the form of third party liability with an adequate sum insured. Storm is the smaller risk here. What causes damage is the manoeuvre in a tight basin and the neighbour who is not paying attention: hull scrapes while berthing, marks along the quay wall, a damaged rudder blade.
Questions and answers
What owners ask about this berth
Which cruising range do I need for Yachthafen Schweich?
In the calculator this berth belongs to the cruising range Rhein, Main, Mosel & Neckar. 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?
It is not required by law, but it is asked for almost everywhere. Harbour rules make proof of cover a condition of the berth, and the harbour master will ask for it on arrival. 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.
