RIB Insurance

We understand that due to the Covid-19 outbreak you may be unable to visit your boat. Read our FAQs for this situation.

We only offer 12-month insurance policies but the benefit of this is that your policy cover will still apply when your RIB is laid up. If your circumstances change for part of the year, you can let us know the details and we can adjust your policy accordingly where necessary.

You are covered up to 12 miles offshore. If you are travelling between two points in the United Kingdom by the most direct route, you can be more than 12 miles offshore. Note travel between Great Britain and the Isle of Man, or Northern Ireland, or the Channel Islands is excluded. If you’re unsure, it’s worth checking with our marine team to ensure you’re still covered.

Provided you have no more than two people being towed at a time, we can cover a number of different water toys and types of water skier; you just need to let us know to add the cover for you. We cannot cover toys such as banana boats and air chairs for towing, and we exclude cover for more than two people being towed at any one time.

Yes, accidental damage is covered as standard on all policies, except our third-party only policy. So, punctures will be covered as long as the reason for the damage is covered by the policy (i.e. not wear and tear etc).

If you would prefer to spread the cost of your RIB insurance policy, you have the option of setting up a Direct Debit to pay your premium bimonthly instalments through our preferred provider, Premium Credit Limited (PCL).

To find out more about PCL and direct debit payments, select Direct Debit.
