Yacht Charter Travel
Insurance Tips
Upon chartering a yacht you know you’re in for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. In saying that, yacht charters do come with a particular set of risks and responsibilities. This means that making the right choice in travel insurance is invaluable.
Here are some key factors you should consider when choosing the right one for you:
1
Yacht Charter Coverage: Some travel insurance policies only cover land-based activities. Be sure to check the insurance policy to ensure that you are completely covered and protected on the water.
2
Coverage Scope: Review and understand what exactly is included in your policy. Basic plans will cover the essentials like trip interruptions and medical expenses. Comprehensive insurance, on the other hand, will also include things like emergency evacuation and lost or damaged luggage. Choose one that has you covered for everything you need.
3
Unique Yacht Charter Risks: There are certain risks that come with chartering a yacht, such as being liable for damages made to the yacht during your trip. Double-check that your insurance policy has this covered. Also, look that emergency evacuation is included in case you need to leave the vessel in case of a medical or other urgent situation.
4
Know the Exclusions: Read the fine print carefully. Particularly concerning water sports or other activities you plan to do whilst on charter. Some policies exclude high-risk activities.
In short, not all travel insurance policies are created equally. It’s important to understand the limitations of your chosen policy and decide whether it suits your needs and travel plans. When you select the right coverage, you can set sail and enjoy a safe and exhilarating voyage.
