With the skipper liability in case of damage protected

You charter a foreign sailing or motor yacht for your trip and take the responsibility on board as skipper. As a rule, the charter contract states that the chartered vessel has liability and hull insurance. Why then do you need a skipper liability insurance? We at the HKVA recommend skipper liability insurance, as this can provide important supplementary protection in the event of damage: In certain cases it can happen that the amount or scope of cover is insufficient and the boat liability or hull insurance of the charter yacht does not cover it. These risks are covered comfortably for you by our skipper liability insurance.

Damage to property and persons covered by skipper liability insurance

What does skipper insurance offer you? A whole range of convincing advantages! Loss events caused by the use of the chartered motor and sailing yacht are naturally integrated. But also the use of the dinghies by skipper and crew and a damage event to third parties is insured in a compact way. In the skipper insurance the liability claims of the accompanying crew members and the skipper are also included. In addition, the skipper's liability insurance provides comfortable protection in case of charter cancellation, confiscation, hotel and travel expenses as well as financial losses.

What scope of cover does the Skipper Liability Insurance offer you?

The skipper liability insurance scores with a wide range of coverage for all those who practice pleasure craft as skippers. We have summarised everything for you in this overview:

  • Liability insurance lump sum for personal injury and property damage up to EUR 5.50 million
  • Hull damage to the chartered yacht (grossly negligent) without limitation of sums
  • Liability claims between crew members
