Most accessories and equipment that is specific to your boating activities can be covered by boat insurance if you opt to include them. Yachtsman insurance will usually cover: Accidental Damage Fire or Explosion Theft or Attempted Theft Malicious Damage / Vandalism Storm Damage and Your liability for damage or injury to other parties. If you have paid crew onboard you can also extend your liability cover at an additional premium to include cover for your paid crew.

Is my Search and Rescue Boat covered when it's being towed?
Liability for damage caused to other people or their property whilst towing your Sports Boat should be covered by the motor insurance policy of the towing vehicle. Most motor insurers cover towing for personal use but you should check with them before doing so. Most insurers cover your boat when it is being towed but check your policy carefully and contact your insurance company if you are not sure. Many insurers restrict road transit to boats under a certain length, 9 metres is quite a common limit.
Are there any conditions to my Search and Rescue Boat?
It is also a condition of many boat insurance policies that your Search and Rescue boat is maintained correctly and in a seaworthy condition. Whilst it is important to ensure your boat insurance policy will be valid in the event of a claim, this is also good practice to ensure that you and your passengers and/or crew are safe when on the water. It is important to ensure that all systems of a boat are checked and, as necessary, maintained in accordance with manufacturers guidelines or generally acknowledged best practice. If you are unsure it is worth getting professional advice from a yard or surveyor.
