Insurance for charter skippers
Skipper liability insurance, charter deposit insurance, skipper accident insurance, charter consequential loss insurance, skipper legal protection, charter consequential loss insurance and charter cancellation insurance.
Skipper liability insurance
In principle, the skipper is liable for any damage he has culpably caused to others with all his present and future assets – without limitation! That is your risk! YACHT-POOL includes gross negligence and the defense against unjustified third-party claims. You do not know the scope of insurance for the chartered yacht!
Charter deposit insurance
Every skipper knows how quickly the harmony of the crew is severely disrupted if damage is caused by one crew member and everyone is asked to pay. Why should everyone have to pay for the damage that only one person has caused – usually the skipper himself – out of his responsibility as skipper ?
Skipper accident insurance
YACHT-POOL’s skipper accident insurance covers you regardless of whether you are at fault or not and covers accident costs for disability and temporary accident costs – even if you are not at fault and the injured party is a family member.
Charter consequential loss insurance
There is a risk that you will cause damage to the charter vessel and therefore the vessel will no longer be operational in time for the subsequent charter and you may be held liable by law or under the charter contract for the charter loss. Charter consequential loss insurance covers justified recourse claims due to charter failure.
Skipper legal protection insurance
Because being right is one thing, but being proven right is another. Legal disputes abroad can be very expensive. Legal fees to foreign lawyers are usually payable in advance and must be paid by you even if you win the case.
Charter cancellation insurance
The yacht for your cruise is booked, the crew is complete and the anticipation is already high – nothing can go wrong now, can it? Unfortunately already! What happens if the skipper has an accident shortly before the trip? When a family member falls seriously ill? Your vacation falls through – and you’re stuck with the cancellation costs.
