Offshore Travel Insurance

[SteveSarabande]

I am looking for travel insurance to cover Offshore Sailing. It seems cheap enough until you go more than 12 miles out. I am looking at it for a trip to Gib via Biscay, but also considering the ARC later this year, so it looks like annual insurance is the way to go. Once you add America things get silly.

Any recomendations?

Offshore Sailing.

I use Pantenius in Plymouth. There travel insurance covers sailing. The people there are very helpfull,

I've used the second one myself for cover on a transatlantic. I think it was less than £200 for the year.

I always use Topsail (as suggested by Bob) for tall ship sailing. Never had to claim, but they certainly seem easy to deal with for routine admin.
