Comprehensive Canal Boat Insurance
Do you want to assure uninterrupted enjoyment navigating the UK’s picturesque canals aboard your canal boat? Ensuring you have the right canal boat insurance is crucial. Our comprehensive policies are crafted to protect your vessel from unforeseen events, providing you with peace of mind as you navigate the waterways.
Why Canal Boat Insurance is Essential
Although not legally required in the UK, securing canal boat insurance is highly advisable. The Canal & River Trust mandates that boat owners possess a minimum of £2 million in third-party liability cover before a boat licence is issued. This coverage shields you from potential claims resulting from injury or damage caused by your boat.
Comprehensive Coverage Tailored to Your Needs
Our canal boat insurance policies provide extensive protection, including:
- Accidental Damage: Coverage for unforeseen incidents that may harm your boat.
- Fire and Theft: Safeguarding against loss or damage due to fire or theft.
- Vandalism: Protection from malicious acts causing damage.
- Personal Accident: Financial support in the event of injury while aboard.
- Medical Expenses: Assistance with medical costs arising from covered incidents.
- Third-Party Liability: Up to £3 million cover included as standard.
We also offer optional add-ons such as contents cover, frost damage protection and legal expenses cover to further customise your policy. Additionally, our policies are designed to be flexible, allowing you to tailor your coverage to suit your specific needs and cruising habits.
Whether you're a seasoned canal boat owner or new to the waterways, our insurance solutions are designed to provide the protection you need, ensuring that your adventures are as enjoyable and worry-free as possible.
