What is boat insurance?

Boat insurance is a form of insurance designed to protect your vessel, other vessels and people on board your vessel.

Why do I need boat insurance?

Although boat insurance is not legally required in the UK, the majority of marinas require evidence of third party insurance.    No doubt if you are investing thousands of pounds into your vessel you will want to make sure it is covered with suitable insurance. We aim to provide competitive low cost priced boat insurance to allow piece of mind.
