Insuring Zodiac

Although Zodiac is a brand name, it has now become a collective name for a professional type of inflatable boat. Such a dinghy is actually called a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). A RIB is considered an amalgamation of a dinghy and a conventional boat. This is because of its sturdy hull. This makes it the perfect boat for rescue operations on water. Are you looking for a way to insure a Zodiac? At Alpina\.nl, we have boat insurance for any boat.

Is it compulsory to insure a Zodiac?

You are not obliged to insure your Zodiac. In the Netherlands, third-party boat insurance is only compulsory in a number of situations. For example, at competitions, in certain marinas, parts of the water and at a boat storage facility. If you ever take your Zodiac abroad you should keep in mind that there are other rules regarding boat insurance. For example, in many countries around the Mediterranean Sea, such as Greece, Croatia, Italy and Spain, boat insurance is mandatory. Always check this before you leave.

What does it cost to insure a Zodiac?

What boat insurance costs, is difficult to say. The costs of a boat insurance differ per boat. When calculating the premium, an insurer looks at the type of boat, the engine, the coverage, any claim-free years and any membership in a water sports association.

Zodiac insurance cover

When insuring your Zodiac, you have a choice of three different types of cover:

WA

With a WA boat insurance your boat is insured for damage you cause to other boats. Do you accidentally sail into another boat and does that boat get damaged? When you are insured WA, this damage will be compensated by the insurer. Otherwise, you will have to bear the costs yourself. Is your own boat also damaged? Unfortunately, this is not compensated with only a WA insurance. To compensate these damages, you need an all-risk boat insurance.

WA limited casco

The WA limited hull cover is also called a WA+ cover. With this coverage you also insure your boat for damage caused by fire, self combustion, explosion, joyriding, storm and hail. Moreover, you are also insured for damage to the contents of your boat.

All-risk/WA full casco

This is the most complete form of cover. With an all-risk boat insurance you are, in addition to the above mentioned damages, also insured for damage to your own boat, even if you caused it yourself. Did you for instance crash into the quay while mooring the boat? Then an all-risk insurance covers the repair costs of your boat.
