Medical insurance for a year on a boat

[Guest]

I'm having trouble finding someone to insure us! We're going away round the Med for a year, we have both recently completed our ICC and VHF course, have only that experience of cruising, hope to buy a Broom 12m - we just need medical insurance for 365 days continuous round Europe - but my broker can't find anything cos (a) we have little experience and (b) most say a maximum of 90 days out of country. Can anyone recommend anyone? Much appreciated.

Would suggest you post this on the Liveaboard link - the folk there seem pretty clued up about this and other related matters on extended cruising. - Good luck

Bishop Skinner indicated to me that their 45 day insurance could be extended for as long as I want but I have not followed up on it. Don't forget to fill the form in at the Post Office for reciprocal EEC National Health.

Hi Marina

Try www.columbusdirect.net they are travel insurance specialists who I have used many times - not sure if they do long term policies, but worth a try.

Success!

Have found a Globetrotter policy on columbusdirect.net which seems okay - £299 - thanks so much! M
