With more than 16 years’ experience and over 41,000 policyholders throughout the UK, you can be confident that your dinghy is completely covered, should the worst happen.

Our flexible policy options means you have a choice of 3 covers:

Craft & Liability Cover

This covers damage to the craft and includes public liability. This is the most popular cover and is suitable for most boaters.

Craft Cover Only

This covers damage to your craft only and is suitable for someone who is keeping their boat permanently ashore or refurbishing the boat ashore.

Third Party Liability Cover Only

This cover gives liability only cover and excludes any damage to the craft. This is suitable for very small crafts and for someone who needs the liability cover in order to launch their craft.

The cover included as standard is very comprehensive however there are also optional extras that can be added to suit your requirements.
