Third-party boat insurance provides cover if you accidentally injure someone or damage third-party property while operating your boat. While it doesn't cover damage to your vessel or personal injuries, it safeguards you against liability claims from others.
For example, if you collide with another boat during a race, you could be held financially responsible for repair costs or even compensation if another boater is injured.
Specialist third-party boat insurance can cover these costs, allowing you to get back to doing what you love. Plus, it’s often the minimum cover required by harbours, marinas, and the Canal & River Trust.
