A nautical charter travel insurance is always a good choice.
Your Boat Holiday is aware of how much the unexpected in life can change programs, sometimes only transforming them in part, sometimes completely distorting them.
For this reason, we feel the need to provide our customers with insurance coverage that allows them to spend a peaceful and carefree holiday on a yacht.
Hence our collaboration with Pantaenius, leading insurance company in the European market as regards insurance related to the yachting world, in order to offer our customers complete and reliable insurance packages.
What is the added value of full insurance coverage?
Taking out insurance when booking any type of boat charter offers important guarantees.
In general, the main objective of those who rent a boat is to have fun by spending time in lightness. So why not immediately eliminate a whole series of worries that may be encountered before and during your sailing trip? Examples are the loss of the security deposit already paid or part of it due to the cancellation of the trip due to an unforeseen event or the interruption of the charter already in progress for family, health, or work needs.
The main advantage of taking out an insurance policy is to be reassured, that is to guarantee the peace of mind of renting a boat and enjoying your holiday without worries.
Let’s go into detail, what risks can be included by subscribing to an insurance package?
It is essential to have complete insurance coverage and in this context, the Pantaenius yacht insurance offers various possibilities. So, depending on the level of coverage chosen, your package can include the following insurances:
- Trip cancellation;
In addition to covering expenses due for possible cancellation of the rental, any outward and return travel expenses of the skipper and crew members are also covered or, if the trip is interrupted after it has already begun, also the additional costs incurred for the return trip and the residual part of the rental cost. The charter costs are then reimbursed for the remaining unused days.
Finally, with an additional premium, it is possible not to apply the policy deductible and also add the possible insolvency of the agency or the rental operator.
- Medical expenses abroad;
In addition to the costs for medical treatment, medical treatment, and hospitalization, the health insurance for travel abroad reimburse the transport by ambulance in the country of origin or the costs of repatriating the body in the event of death.
