Boat insurance for Malta
The harbours of Valletta and Msida are well sheltered; the outer coast is steep with few anchorages. In winter, depressions bring hard north easterlies and surge reaches into the marinas. The typical losses are chafe damage at the berth and damage while manoeuvring in tight basins.

Berths, season and winter storage
Malta works year round, with berths in the upper price band that are in demand in winter, because many boats stay here. Yards and suppliers are on hand, which makes repairs easier than at many other Mediterranean locations.
What this means for your policy
Malta belongs to the cruising range for Malta and Cyprus. If your boat flies the Maltese flag, clarify that the policy accepts this without restriction. Also check whether cover continues during an extended period in a yard.
Questions and answers
What owners ask about this area
My boat flies the Maltese flag: does the policy go along with that?
We insure where the owner's residence or the flag is in Germany, Austria or Spain. With a Maltese flag it therefore comes down to your residence. Ask us beforehand and we will tell you in one sentence whether it works.
Does cover continue during a longer stay in the yard?
Yes. Cover also applies while the boat is ashore and during a repair, inspection or overhaul, provided the berth is objectively suitable for water-sports craft. Hauling out and launching are included.
In winter surge reaches into the marina: is that a storm claim?
Storm is named in every hull tariff, but only from force 8, that is 62 kilometres an hour. A strong north-easter often reaches it, though not always: secure the reading of the nearest station or the official warning with date and time. If the boat works against the quay wall in the process, that is a collision on top and covered from Basis-Plus.
