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 bat ashore.
