What is travel Insurance?

Travel insurance gives you peace of mind by covering unforeseen events such as illness, accident or loss of documents, or even assistance if you are stranded somewhere with your boat.

Why take out travel insurance?

Almost all of us have been ill on holiday, had a toothache or, worse, needed surgery or hospitalisation. Unfortunately, even sailors are not spared these inconveniences. If you have travel insurance, all medical expenses and other complications abroad will be covered by your insurance company. We offer travel insurance in cooperation with Uniqa tailor-made for recreational sailors. In addition to accidents or illnesses that occur during sailing, it covers the same for fishing, jet skiing, parasailing or scuba diving with an instructor.
