Cruising area · Batumi · Black Sea
Boat insurance for Batumi
The harbour sits on an open coast below the Caucasus, with a small marina and little infrastructure for pleasure craft. Distances to the nearest harbours are long, and the political situation in the northern Black Sea narrows the route choice further. Anyone going there should know the current restricted areas.

Berths, season and winter storage
The season is May to September and berths are inexpensive. Repair options for yachts are limited; spare parts generally have to be imported, which costs time and duty. For longer stays the marina in Batumi is the only dependable place.
What this means for your policy
Georgia lies outside the common cruising ranges and needs an express agreement, usually a worldwide range. Also check whether your policy contains war or restricted area clauses that could apply to the Black Sea.
Questions and answers
What owners ask about this area
Does the policy contain war or restricted-area clauses?
War, civil war and warlike events are excluded in all hull tariffs, and in the liability cover so are claims demonstrably based on acts of war or measures by authority. That applies regardless of the cruising range. For the eastern Black Sea it means: talk to us before the trip, not after.
Does Georgia need a separate agreement?
Yes, it lies outside the usual ranges; in practice this runs through a worldwide range. With the worldwide range the digital NAMMERT logbook is part of it as soon as your position changes by more than 300 nautical miles: if a loss occurs away from the reported position, we may reduce the payment by up to 50 per cent.
Little infrastructure, long distances: what should I consider about salvage?
Expenditure to avert or reduce a covered loss is reimbursed 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.
