Are there any restrictions on where Speedboats can be moored? Find out more

It is important to check as most insures will impose conditions or restrictions for small vessels left afloat unattended. Our MS Amlin All Risks Boat Insurance Policy excludes cover for sinking or swamping for any vessel less than 17 feet in length boat, which has a maximum designed speed in excess of 17 knots when left unattended afloat.

The above is for information purposes only. It is not intended to define legal terms nor is it intended to affect the interpretation of any policy we may issue. If you have any questions concerning your insurance, there is no replacement for having your individual questions answered individually by your insurance broker or insurer.

Who can drive my boat? Find out more

Apart from the restrictions noted below, it is usual for an insurance to cover anyone driving your boat with your permission. It is worth noting however, that minors under 18 years old are not usually covered to drive the vessel without an adult being on board and in charge at all times. If there is someone who will regularly use the boat, whether or not you are on board, it is advisable to inform the insurer. Give details of the name, age, record and experience, together with any claims history of this person.

Anyone borrowing the boat should also be made aware of any limitations to the insurance, in particular, where the boat may be used or moored. Under our MS Amlin All Risks Boat Insurance Policy there are specific references to restrictions as to who may "drive" the boat as below:

If you give permission for someone else to be in charge of your vessel you must take steps to ensure they have the experience to do so.
There is no liability cover for anyone operating, managing or working upon the vessel who is employed by a shipyard, repair yard, marina, yacht club, sales agency, delivery contractor or similar organisation. Therefore if anyone covered by these categories is going to drive your boat it is essential that they confirm they have their own professional indemnity cover.
If you are lending your boat for any form of "consideration", this will not be considered “private pleasure use" and will be deemed "hire or reward". This use is normally excluded under insurance policies unless insurers have given their prior agreement to such use.
If you are arranging for a delivery skipper to sail or deliver you vessel you should obtain a copy of the skipper and crews sailing CV and make sure that they have the appropriate Professional indemnity insurance in place as insurers will often want to see this prior to agreeing cover.
