Boat insurance for Bali
The Lombok and Badung straits carry water from the Pacific into the Indian Ocean; the streams reach several knots and form tide rips that work small boats hard in a headwind. There are few marinas, Benoa being the main option. Unlit fishing gear is a constant issue in Indonesian waters.

Questions and answers
What owners ask about this area
Are collisions with unlit fishing gear covered?
On your own boat from Basis-Plus: collision with fixed and floating objects is named there expressly, and a drifting net or an unlit fish trap is exactly that. Under the Basis tariff, a partial hull cover, this damage is not covered.
How does the policy handle salvage costs where there are no specialist firms?
Expenditure to avert or reduce a covered loss is reimbursed even if it fails and even beyond the sum insured, on our instruction or where you could reasonably consider it necessary. For salvage ordered by an authority a separate limit applies, up to 1 million euros in Basis-Plus and 2.5 million in Premium. Call before you improvise.
Several knots of current in the Lombok Strait: what does that mean for the tariff?
That accident cover is what matters. Overfalls load rig and hull, and what breaks or touches in the process is covered from Basis-Plus. Wear that builds up over years stays outside.
