Frequently asked questions
Is my boat covered under my home insurance?
Usually only small boats, if at all, and liability may be limited. Most boats need their own policy.
Do I need cargo insurance if my supplier has cover?
It depends on your trading terms. Under many terms, the risk passes to you early in the journey.
Can you insure commercial vessels?
Yes, subject to survey and insurer acceptance.
