Boat insurance for all other craft

Yacht Insurance

If you’re in need of yacht insurance, insuremyboat is the place to moor up. As long as you sail in the inland or coastal waters of the UK or Europe and your yacht is over 23 feet then we can arrange an efficient, competitive quote that is supplied by our vastly experienced marine insurer.

Yachts are generally classed as being over 30 feet in length and use sails and wind power as their primary source of propulsion, although a small outboard or an inboard engine can be used as a secondary power unit when required. As for construction up until the 1950’s the vast majority of yachts were made from either wood or steel in the larger designs, however new materials have been introduced over the years such as the now very common fibreglass, aluminium and carbon fibre hulls, although wood still remains the most popular with hobbyists and purists.

With the vast number of manufacturers there is not one hard and fast rule as to the design and configuration of such boats. The majority are teardrop-planform hulls, with wide flat bottoms and a single fin keel to give better stability incorporating a single mast with a Bermuda rig.

Narrowboat insurance

Insuremyboat.co.uk can provide boat insurance for narrow boats and many other types of river and canal vessels. We can give you boat insurance quotes for canal and narrowboats that are moored or used on any UK inland waterway.

Many moorings and marinas as well as tow and similar repair companies require at least third party cover before allowing your boat onto their property or taking your boat into their care. If you have invested a lot of money in your boat, you will want to be covered for loss or damage. If you sometimes live aboard, using your boat as a houseboat, you will need cover for your possessions and equipment. We will provide all this, plus £60,000 of personal injury cover for both you and your guests.

Cruiser Insurance

With our cruiser insurance you can be safe in the knowledge that should anything happen you will be covered, whether you’re out on the water enjoying yourself or the boat is at mooring.

Cruisers are classed as a craft that can do up to 17 knots and have sleeping accommodation onboard the vessel. They are generally powered by either an outboard or inboard engine and are used as their name suggests for cruising on either inland or coastal waters.

Insuremyboat.co.uk can offer competitive rates and reassurance that when you next take to the water you have a policy that is tailored to suit your needs, providing the craft is over 23 feet in length.

Catamaran Insurance

At Insuremyboat we can offer catamaran insurance for the new or experienced sailor for their boats over 23 feet.

Catamarans are so called due to the configuration of their two hulls with a cabin area set on top joining them. Primarily sail powered, although there are motor powered models, they are still in the minority of pleasure craft. However their star is rising, due to their better stability compared to their monohulled brethren and is also easier to sail for the new and inexperienced owner.
