The most common skipper mistakes, clearly explained: communication, crew management, safety and charter tips. Here is how to become a better skipper on board.
The optimal coverage for your sailing holiday
A sailing trip is an unforgettable experience: freedom on the water, impressive coastal landscapes, and the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. But to enjoy your yacht charter to the fullest, good preparation is essential. In addition to the right equipment and a harmonious crew, the right insurance also plays a major role. In this article, we show you which insurance policies are important for your sailing trip so you can set sail without worries.
Why is charter insurance so important?
When chartering a yacht, a high security deposit is due, and despite all caution, unforeseen damage can occur. Health issues or other unforeseen events can also affect the sailing trip. To minimize financial risks, it is worth taking out suitable charter insurance.
The most important insurance for your sailing trip
Deposit insurance: protection against high costs
If the yacht is damaged during the sailing trip, the charter company can retain all or part of the deposit. Deposit insurance covers this financial risk. Important: With Hamburger Yachtversicherung Schomacker there is no deductible. Covered, among other things, are paint scratches, sail damage, engine and gearbox damage, as well as the loss of fenders.
Trip cancellation insurance: protection against unforeseen events
If the skipper or a crew member is unable to start the trip due to an insured event, the costs for the entire charter or the individual share will be reimbursed. Additional protection: Check whether trip interruption is also covered. Optional insolvency insurance for the charter operator can also be taken out.
Skipper's liability insurance: safety on the high seas
This insurance covers damage to the charter yacht in cases of proven gross negligence. It also covers claims for damages between crew members, security deposits in foreign ports, and compensation for charter downtime for the owner.
Personal accident insurance: protection for skipper and crew
If the skipper or a crew member has an accident, this insurance provides financial protection. The coverage applies to all persons listed on the crew list.
