All our boats are fully covered for damage and damage to other property or vessels for claims over from 2250€ (£1865) to 3250€ (£2695 or CA$ 4920). All our boats are covered fully for third party liability.
Option 1 – The refundable damage deposit
On arrival at the base, you leave a refundable deposit of from 2250 to 3250 euros which will only be exercised if the boat or any of its equipment / inventory is returned damaged or lost, or in the case of any accidental damage to third parties. This will not be the case if there is evidence of gross neglect, which is excluded from our cover under our insurance policy.
Option 2 – The non-refundable damage waiver + reduced deposit -250€ (£205)-750€ (£620)
A charge of between 21€ to 48€/day (according to the boats and the countries) can be paid at the time of booking. With this option you will be fully covered if the boat or any of its equipment / inventory is returned damaged or lost, as well as if there is any accidental damage to third parties. This will not be the case if there is evidence of gross neglect, which is excluded from our cover under our insurance policy.
* In certain instances we may insist on a deposit rather than the waiver
