Sealogy Boat Insurance: Cover, Costs, and TOP Rates at a Glance

Sealogy boat insurance includes a TOP yacht liability policy and a TOP yacht hull policy.

Its main strengths are the explicitly **incontestable agreed fixed value**, no "new for old" deductions for partial losses, and additional salvage and disposal costs of up to €2 million. Limitations include gross negligence (waiver only up to a loss amount of €5,000) and damage to machinery and electronics.

NAUTIMA Boat Insurance: Cover, Costs, and Policy Details at a Glance

NAUTIMA is Mannheimer’s insurance offering for yachts and pleasure boats. It includes hull insurance, boat liability, and occupant accident insurance, among others. The hull cover is generally an all-risks policy, but with restrictions for certain items and causes of loss. Especially important when comparing: for damage caused by gross negligence, a limit of €10,000 total loss applies, and a supplementary clause can restrict the waiver of "new for old" deductions that the base terms provide for. What matters is therefore not the product name but the version of the contract actually agreed.

Pantaenius Boat Insurance: Cover, Costs, and Alternatives at a Glance

Pantaenius boat insurance consists of three separate contracts: yacht hull, yacht liability, and personal accident insurance for occupants. The hull cover is designed as all-risks cover, works with a binding agreed fixed value on a replacement-value basis, excludes the underinsurance objection, and pays for repairs without "new for old" deductions. Key limit: Pantaenius only waives reductions for gross negligence where the total loss does not exceed €10,000. There is no flat price – via NauticAssure you can request an individual Pantaenius quote and compare it directly with other boat insurers.

ADAC Watersports Insurance: Cover, Costs, and Alternatives at a Glance

ADAC watersports insurance isn’t a single policy but three separately available covers: watersports liability for your own boat, watersports hull insurance for damage to your own boat, and skipper and crew liability for chartered or borrowed boats. For the hull cover, it’s worth taking a close look at the "fixed value under Section 76 VVG" – it isn’t automatically incontestable in every case of total loss. According to current information, ADAC members receive a 10% discount on the base premium. The insurer is AIG Europe S.A.; ADAC Versicherung AG arranges the contracts.

Comparing charter insurance rates: what actually matters

When comparing rates, the premium is only one factor – the sum insured, excess, geographical scope, and exclusions matter just as much. Two similarly priced rates can pay out very differently in the event of a claim.
