Speedboat Insurance

What GJW Direct customers think

• Protected No Claims Bonus

  Once you earn no claims bonus it is protected. This means that you will not lose your no claims bonus if you have one claim in any one policy period. Two or more claims will result in a loss of no claims bonus.

• Machinery Damage Cover

  We cover loss or damage to the machinery and outboard motors caused by impact between the speedboat and any substance including ice (but not water). This includes main or auxiliary engines, electrical equipment, cables and fittings and hydraulic equipment, piping and fittings, boilers, gearboxes, outdrives and shafts.

• Transit and Trailer Cover

  We cover your speedboat (up to 30 feet in length) and trailer(if requested) for transit by road within the cruising area specified on your Speedboat Insurance Certificate. We do not cover your liability for the trailer while attached to a towing vehicle or as a result of an accident on the highway or public or private place. This ought to be covered by your motor insurance policy.

• Agreed Value

  In the event of a total loss claim, we will pay the value of your vessel originally agreed upon taking out your policy.

  We cover your legal expenses up to £25,000 to pursue damages for injury or death or out of pocket expenses following damage to your speedboat or for the defence of criminal prosecutions brought against you.

• What is a Speedboat

  A generalised term to describe a wide range of boats, a speed boat is generally defined as a high-speed motorboat with a powerful engine. It may have an onboard or outboard motor.

• How Fast Do Speedboats Go?

  Our speed boat policy covers high-speed vessels that generally reach speeds up to 50kts. The fastest speedboats can travel in excess of 80kts. Often called ‘high-performance boats, these vessels are not generally covered under our speedboat policy. Speak to a member of our team to find out more.

• Speed Boat Motor and Equipment Cover

  When you’re travelling at high speeds, you need equipment that works hard. Our policy covers loss and damage to machinery and equipment to maintain your high-speed vessel so you can concentrate on the water.
