The majority of this thread is for boats in EU associated areas. If you are looking for insurance for Australian waters, then maybe look at an Australian insurance broker policy that has a more amiable attitude to UK residents.
Just a thought
€170 out lay verses loosing €2000. As you say it's a choice each person makes by judging their perceived risk.
Strong wind leaving a mooring blows the boat in to the one next to it and, you rip there or your stantchings off or crash in to an anchor soon eat in to that €2000
Surely the first rule of insurance is:- only insure what you can't afford to replace. Are you planning on £2000 of damage every 10 years?. And then they'll refuse to pay because you were drunk or didn't have your anchoring cone displayed properly.
The thread is on the amount you have to leave...

CHARTER INSURANCE
Still insured UK resident
€2000 deposit cost €170 +€20 to cover dinghy.
Eis were but there license had run out. They are hoping to get it emid June.
Was a big minefield of companies saying can't do it due to David Camerons sog mouth
Worked out €175.00 for €2000 charter base deposit +€20.00 for dingy cover. A bit more than EIS, but at least they cover UK residents.
A big relief with only 2 weeks to the charter.
Have found http://www.schomacker.de/ to be only ones of help.
MAY 23 based in Germany and underwritten in Germany but accept UK residents.
Topsail only do a full travel insurance in cluing charter deposit but its expensive
The information back from the charter co was that they are not doing this scheme this year so that option is closed as well.
Thought I was getting a better deal booking direct rather than through a agency.
Can anyone advise of a company that will do charter deposit insurance for uk residents chartering in Croatia/eu now David cammorons BRIT EXIT fiasco is complete??
