Yacht Third Party Liability Insurance

Third party boat insurance, as it is often called, provides cover for damages that the owner, guests or crew have caused against a third party in conjunction with the use of the vessel.

Benefits

ny_018

Reliable all-round protection

Personal injury, as well as material and financial damage, are covered. This also applies to claims by crew members, for example against the skipper or against other crew members.

ny_019

Nothing to gain from the other party?

If a third party is guilty of damaging your vessel, but you cannot recover any costs, e.g. due to the other party’s insolvency, our yacht liability conditions cover this.

ny_020

Rescue system triggered? Don’t worry!

If you accidentally trigger one of your rescue systems, e.g. EPIRB or DSC, the resulting search and assistance costs will be reimbursed.

ny_021

Protection for the skipper

With our yacht liability conditions, you are also automatically insured as skipper of a hired or chartered motorboat or sailing yacht.

FAQ

I have sold my boat. What happens with my policies?

openclose

If you have sold your boat, please inform us immediately by sending us a purchase agreement or transfer certificate by post or by email. Your policies will then be cancelled and settled upon transfer of ownership.

Can the purchaser take over the policies?

openclose

The policies cannot be transferred directly. In the case of existing yacht hull insurance/yacht liability insurance, temporary insurance cover is provided for the purchaser for one month from the date of transfer of ownership. For hull insurance, the purchase price specified in the purchase agreement applies, however up to a maximum of the previous sum insured (agreed fixed value). The purchaser will also receive an insurance recommendation, so they can take out new policies.

How is my trailer co-insured?

openclose

Tax-exempt sports trailers with a green registration number are automatically co-insured with the towing vehicle. If the trailer is not coupled to a vehicle and the trailer causes damage to a third party, the owner of the trailer is personally liable. For an additional premium, this trailer can be included in the yacht liability insurance. If you wish to register a trailer that is subject to compulsory insurance (black registration number), you will need an EVB number (electronic confirmation of insurance). This is issued by your vehicle insurer or by our colleagues at Pantaenius Versicherungsmakler GmbH at www.pantaenius.eu.

Can I lend my boat to friends?

openclose

Yes. Pantaenius liability insurance covers the policyholder, the owner, the captain, crew and anyone who is on board with the permission of the policyholder or the owner. This also applies to the use of dinghies and the undertaking of sports, as long as such activities happen in connection with use of the yacht.
