Insurance Insights

Most common claims

Collision - Whether it be with another boat, a log or even a whale… collisions occur A LOT. Collisions are definitely the claim we see most and the damage suffered as a result can range from minimal to extreme. You may be lucky enough to get away with a scrape but you could also end up with a decent sized hole. On the other end of the spectrum you may also be held responsible for the damages to another person’s boat or property.

These questions may help you

Is boat insurance mandatory?

Boat insurance is not legally required for leisure boats in the Australia, but it is strongly recommended. While not mandated by law, having insurance is essential for protecting your investment against various risks, such as collisions and weather-related damage. Additionally, if you want to enter any marinas, whether for berthing, hauling for maintenance, emergency repairs, or similar activities, you will need Third Party Liability insurance at a minimum. We have found that many marinas across Australia and New Zealand will however only provide a vessel access if a Comprehensive policy is in place. Many marinas also mandate third-party liability insurance for using their mooring facilities. Adding to these points, if your vessel has been purchased through a loan, your creditor will likely require for you to take out insurance to safeguard against any losses. Therefore, investing in boat insurance not only safeguards your financial commitment but also ensures compliance with many local regulations and requirements.

How much does boat insurance cost per year?

The cost of boat insurance can vary significantly based on several factors. Insurers set premiums according to risk factors such as the owner’s experience, the type, size, and age of the boat, as well as its usage, location, and cruising area. Additionally, premiums are influenced by the potential cost of settling claims. On average, annual premiums can range from the hundreds to several thousand dollars, all dependent on the characteristics of the risk being placed. For an accurate quote that reflects your specific needs and circumstances, contact an insurance provider specialising in boat insurance.

What does boat insurance cover?

Boat insurance typically provides cover for a range of risks:

Protection for your boat: Covers damage to your own boat including incidents like collisions, groundings, theft and other unforeseen events.

Third Party Liability: Protects against legal liability for injuries or property damage arising out of ownership or operation of the boat.

Personal Accident: Boat insurance can also include cover for accidents which occur on the boat or as a result of use of the vessel. This would include death or permanent disabilities.

Exclusions: Policies vary, so it is crucial to review your cover details and understand any exclusions, such as wear and tear or lack of maintenance.

Can I adjust my boat insurance afterwards?

Yes, you can adjust your boat insurance policy after it has been taken out. Changes to your boat’s usage, its value, or other factors might necessitate updates to your cover. It is important to communicate any changes to your insurance provider to ensure that your policy remains aligned with your current needs and provides the appropriate level of protection.
