Motor Cruiser Insurance Specialists

Having the right insurance on your motor cruiser is important to you and to us, which is why Assist Insurance Services have designed motor cruiser insurance policies that will give you the most comprehensive level of cover possible, at an affordable price. If this is your first time insuring a motor cruiser, you can be confident that one of our specialist advisors will guide you through the process, to ensure you are completely covered. We offer a range of policy options to suit your requirements and you can tailor the cover to suit your individual needs.

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.
