Boat insurance advice

[Gary Fox]

Will insurers accept a 5 year old survey?

No good asking us ask them.

Yes it does seem to be hardly any different some of the time, boat insurance in UK for me has always been a lot more than the bog standard £90 3rd party (if for no other reason than having to get a survey) and strangely this year insuring a new to me motorbike it was way cheaper to do the old fashioned TPFT. Getting any sort of insurance for the wee 1969 Bowman that now lives in Portugal was proving tricky until I found an insurer that offered 3rd part cover for the whole of Europe for £100 so I went with that...

Hi, we are looking for cheap third party boat insurance for whole Europe. Which one insurance company did you choose?

I'm insured with Navigator and General. They've not required a survey. I am on a swing mooring . They paid out when my dinghy got nicked and when I snagged my chain and anchor.

When I bought a boat in France I was not able to get it insured without a survey. I rang a British surveyor who works in France and he said it had to be in French.

Thanks, we will try to contact them.

Hi, it was Bishop Skinner. Very helpful, 3rd party cover for Bowman 26 was £117...
