Why Pleasure Craft Insurance matters

Owning a boat is a lifestyle investment, but it also comes with risks, both on and off the water. Accidents, theft, or unexpected damage can lead to costly repairs or liability claims. Pleasure Craft Insurance is designed to protect both your vessel and your financial wellbeing, giving you peace of mind every time you set sail.
Financial protection
Boats can be expensive to repair or replace. Insurance helps reduce the financial burden if an incident occurs.
Cover for liability
Accidents on the water can cause injury or damage to other people’s property. Pleasure Craft Insurance can include legal liability protection to cover these risks.
Peace of mind for owners
Knowing your vessel is covered means you can focus on enjoying your time on the water.

What does Pleasure Craft Insurance cover?

We can tailor a policy to suit your craft and usage, with cover options including:
Comprehensive cover
Protection for accidental loss or damage to your vessel, including theft, malicious damage, and damage sustained during transit.
Third party only cover
A more limited option covering damage or injury you cause to other people or their property while using your boat.
Transit risk cover
One-off cover for vessels not designed for land transportation, providing protection during transit.
