Dinghy insurance
Why insure your dinghy with us?
There’s always the chance your dinghy could be stolen or damaged on the water, leaving you both unable to participate and set back financially.
That’s why it’s essential to have our dinghy insurance. This will protect your dinghy against theft, accidental damage, malicious damage and salvage charges. You’ll also be covered for local club racing, so if you take part in club-organised races in your dinghy we’ll cover you for these, as well as those organised by other local sailing clubs.
What’s more, no matter how experienced you are at sailing your dinghy, travelling at high speeds combined with changing weather can cause accidents. It’s not unheard of for dinghies to collide when competing. With our Third Party Liability cover up to £3 million included as standard, your liability will be protected if you have an accident that damages another boat, property or injures another person.
Want even more protection? You can choose to add more cover from our optional extras. For example, our European cover which ensures you can sail your dinghy for up to 60 days’ at any one time for inland and coastal waters of Europe*.
Our dinghy insurance policies can be completely tailored to you and your dinghy (including Laser dinghies), so you’ll only ever pay for the cover you need.

- Build your own policy so you don’t need to pay for cover you don’t need

- £3 million Third Party Liability included as standard

What does dinghy insurance cover?
A dinghy insurance policy will cover the costs incurred as result of theft or damage and protect your legal liability if your dinghy damages someone else’s property, another boat, or injures someone.

The cost depends on a few other factors. These include the value of your dinghy, your age, your usual mooring type and location (UK/abroad), your marine experience and your claims history.
