Insurance

Last year for our adventure to Norway we found ourselves delayed partly to insurance difficulties, this year in our attempt to avoid the same issue we started our Insurance hunt early. We were hoping to get fully comprehensive unlike last years third party cover, but after trying 30+ insurance companies we had neither fully comp or third party... Even from companies offering coverage for transatlantic voyages, northwest passage adventures and circumnavigations, which seemed unbelievable when we plan to take our RIB up the coast of a country where 1 in 3 have access to a boat.

With the company that insured us last year pulling out of the small pleasure craft market all looked quite gloomy on the insurance front, until both Alan and Thomas and Yachtline offered us a third party policy! We could not recommend these companies more, their knowledge and advice was hugely helpful. If we were wanting coverage for another out of the ordinary adventure, or indeed standard coverage we would be sure to go to them. In the end though out of the blue BayMarine came up with an all risk policy. 

Having this type of coverage gives us a great peace of mind especially since we have spent many times the purchase price on the boat! They have been most helpful again and if anyone is planning a RIB trip to Norway (Or anywhere else...) we recommend you try the above.
Bay Marine have kindly offered us sponsorship in the form of a reduced premium for which we are most grateful.
