RIB insurance

[longjohnsilver]

Having just bought a RIB now need to insure it. Spoke to my current insurers and they will not touch it if it's left on a pontoon or a mooring.

Anyone got any recommendations of who to speak to?

Dont blame them. I would'nt touch you with a barge pole!

hmmmm - sounds great if they have put that in writing - send it to another insurer as evidence from an underwritter that 'no one will touch it when left unattended on a pontoon or mooring' and ask for a discount on thier normal rate.

We have no problem insuring a RIB afloat if it is more than 5m long. Smaller boats can be insured afloat, depending on where the boat is kept and the size of the engine.

For further details have a look at our RIB Insurance page.

Well mine's 4.8m, just tried your online quote form and it wouldn't let me enter a value for the outboard!

I've checked the site and it seems to be working.

Give me a call on Friday on 01636 707606 and I'll arrange a quote.

Dont knock saga. My insurance went down from hummm1500 ish for my car to 300'ish. They do insure boats as well. never thort of them. But maybe??? You only need to be 50.
