Marine Insurance

We can add on nautical assistance as an optional extra, this gives cover in the event of a breakdown of any form to send out the local rescue service. There is an emergency phone number and also a radio frequency for you to use. Please note you may be required to pay for the service and then ask for reimbursement, although authorization for reimbursement can be given, the harbor sometimes insist on payment then and there, so reimbursement is not a problem, however you must contact the emergency rescue service in the first place so they have a record of your claim.

We are unable to offer cover from the UK or UK coastal water at all, we can offer optional extra cover for all of the Mediterranean, including African ports in the Med upon request.

Brexit has caused 2 issues:

Firstly, UK flagged vessels, EU registration VAT has to be paid on your vessel if it is being kept in the EU.

Secondly, UK boat licenses, currently due to Brexit UK licenses are not valid for using EU registered vessels, UK license holders can use UK flagged vessels in the EU. The Spanish authorities are adapting Spanish law to also allow UK boat license holders to pilot Spanish registered vessels. Due to the tourism this will be resolved soon though.

Yes, however please specify this when you ask for a quote

We are unable to offer insurance for those who do not hold the required qualifications for handling boats, personal water crats or yachts, you are legally required to have a license for any boats over 5mtrs if it has an engine under 15hp, or yachts over 6mtrs in beam.

Insurance policies in Spain are done so according to Spanish law, therefor any vessel over 6mtrs in beam or has an engine of any form, requires insurance that gives cover for third party liability cover for death, injury, or material damage to any third party, economic losses due to direct consequences of material or personal damage and damage to other vessels both with and without contact. Without insurance however you will be unable to enter any ports in Spain, this means getting your vessel in the water in the first place without insurance is impossible.
