What is the best boat insurance?

The question 'What is the best boat insurance?' is not the same for everyone. It depends on your boat and your personal situation. What is the best insurance for your neighbour's boat may not be the same for yours. That is comparing apples and oranges. To find the best insurance for your boat, it is therefore important that you compare well. When comparing boat insurances you should pay attention to two things: the coverage you want and the area where you will be sailing with your boat.

Do you want only basic coverage or do you opt for the most comprehensive insurance? Do you plan to sail only in the Netherlands, or would you also like to take your boat abroad? This all affects the amount of your premium. On Alpina.nl we would like to tell you more about finding the best insurance for your boat.

Factors that determine which boat insurance is best for you

When looking for a boat insurance, a number of factors are important. For example, the type of boat you have is important, because a dinghy naturally requires a different boat insurance than a luxury catamaran. Take a look at the following factors when comparing boat insurance:

  • The type of boat you have
  • The current value of the boat
  • The sailing area
  • The desired coverage

The current market value of the boat is an important factor. Based on the current market value you can determine which cover you should take out. An all-risk boat insurance is for example recommended for boats with a high current value. Also for very new boats is often an all-risk boat insurance taken out. Is your boat older or less valuable? Then a WA boat insurance might be sufficient. Therefore, take a good look at the current value of your boat and consider what you want to be insured for. Is only damage to others sufficient, or do you want to insure your own boat as well?
