Boat insurance

[Safetyman]

I have just got my renewal notice for my boat insurance which I currently get through A-plan insurance. The premium for this year is £158 compared to last year of £165 (this was my first year so I had no NCB). The insurance underwriter is Towergate.

Towergate rang me last week to quote for my insurance (I used a comparison website last year) and again quoted well over £200 to insure my boat and its engines.

Just shows you have to shop around.

As I haven't paid my renewal yet (it's not due until 1st Feb) does anyone else know of any sites worth visiting for a quote?

I used this website Compare Boat Insurance, Boat Insurance, insurance for boats in the UK

I held off for a couple of days and they sent me a 10% off voucher which i used and got fully comp for £120...

I use porthcawl but i phone them and get 30k worth of cover and 40miles from any safe haven. well worth it mine last year was 185

Check you policy carefully as some are very cunning and only have silly distances. A mate of mine checked his and he had 3 miles from point of departure so basically he got nothing.

Thanks for that Sean I just checked and it's 12 miles offshore. But certainly worth checking as you say 3 miles is useless.

I’ve used Craftinsure Boat Insurance | Compare Yacht, Narrowboat, Dinghy, RIB, Speedboat, Canoe and Kayak Insurance since buying my first boat. I check before renewing each year that they will cover me for offshore trips and they’ve agreed so far.

Make sure you get it in writing and get an agreed limit.

I contacted my in broker as it didnt state a distance on my policy, and their reply was...."I have contacted Haven Knox Johnston and they have confirmed they do not stipulate a maximum distance on their documents", i'm also covered for 2 weeks boating in international waters, so i might have a dodge over to Holland when the weather picks up...

You could always tie a line on the DFDS boat to save fuel - just so long as they don't set fire to it again

I have used Sarga for years, boat insurance was only £113 this year for me....its the cheap part of boating, the marina bill was about £1,700 ha

That's cheap as chips that Richy. Where will I find them? Ours is up at the end of the month and they want £188 this time round. If anyone else has any others it would be much appreciated.

Hi is this just boat insurance ???? how much is the cover for taking anglers out as im new to this I mean how much wud it be for liability cover for 12 anglers please

[northeast1]

Not a clue for 12, larger boats and charters have different brackets and rules, same goes for the speed brackets...my insurance does 0-10knots 10-20knots and 20+. It also does miles from a safe port bracket etc.

Just go on the web sites and do what you do for car insurance, tick or untick what you wish and a price will come up.
