Boat insurance for Lycian Coast
Between Marmaris and Kekova lies one deep sheltered bay after another, where shore lines are almost always used. In the afternoon the wind falls off the mountains and veers as it does; a boat lying on its anchor alone then swings into the rocks. That is where this area's typical damage comes from.

Berths, season and winter storage
The season runs from April to October with berths in the low to middle price band. For winter storage the coast is a centre: the yards in Marmaris, Göcek and Finike are well equipped and much cheaper than in the EU. Many German owners therefore keep their boat there all year.
What this means for your policy
The area belongs to the Turkey cruising range. It matters that Turkey is expressly named in the policy, because it is not part of the EU and is excluded from some. Also check whether cover applies unchanged during a stay of several months in a yard.
Questions and answers
What owners ask about this area
Does Turkey have to be named in the policy?
Yes. Turkey is not part of the EU and is excluded from some policies; with us it appears as its own cruising range in the schedule. Adding it costs nothing, and Premium covers six weeks a year beyond the agreed range.
Does cover apply during a stay of several months in the yard?
Yes, unchanged. Cover applies while the boat is ashore and during repair, inspection or overhaul, provided the place is objectively suitable for water-sports craft; hauling out and launching are included. Only the season policy rests from 1 November to 31 March.
The boat swings into the rocks: which tariff pays?
Full hull cover from Basis-Plus. Collision with fixed objects and running aground are named there expressly; the Basis tariff, a partial hull cover, includes neither. In an area where shore lines are used almost always, that is the line that matters.
