Yacht-Pool skipper insurance - safety and protection at sea

• News, Regulations

Until now, skippers had the option of certain insurance types while sailing. But these insurances were limiting or insufficient. Yacht-Pool, specialising in marine insurance, has recently begun to provide complete protection to skippers, even providing coverage that was not standard in maritime insurance.

It is an incomparable feeling to sail and sail in the open sea. Nothing can replace that feeling of freedom.  
   
But sailing also carries certain risks that cannot always be predicted.  
   
Each skipper and each crew face various situations every time they go to sea.  
   
For some of them, it's impossible to prepare in advance, such as sudden storms, equipment failures or other people's carelessness.  
   
Other people's carelessness varies from "little things", such as getting stuck under bridges or serious boat collisions. Which can cause significant material damage or injuries.  
   
And when the unexpected or the worst happens, standard insurance policies often don't provide enough protection for skippers and crew.  
   
And every good skipper knows - you simply don't go out on the open sea unprepared.  
   
Yacht-Pool, specialising in marine insurance, decided to provide skippers coverage beyond the limits of traditional policies.

Why is Yacht-Pool skipper insurance necessary?  

Every skipper knows what sailing entails and what the potential risks are when going out to sea.  
   
Yacht-Pool insurance covers situations often not included in standard insurance policies, such as third-party liability and specific international conditions.  
   
Here are the main reasons why skipper insurance is actually necessary for safe navigation:  

• Liability for damage and injury  
  Skippers are personally responsible for any damage or injury they cause, which can include, among other things, serious financial consequences.  
• "Gross negligence" coverage  
  Yacht-Pool covers incidents deemed "gross negligence", which is rare in standard insurance policies.  
• Validity of disclaimer  
  Standard insurance contracts often contain clauses that exclude certain types of liability. Yacht-Pool insurance effectively solves these types of dilemmas.  
• International navigation flags and conditions  
  Skippers operating vessels under foreign flags are subject to different rules and conditions, which Yacht-Pool insurance takes into account.  
• Limitation of standard coverage  
  In many cases, insurance coverage is limited to the vessel's value or the legal minimum, which may be insufficient compared to potential claims.  
• Flexibility in contracting  
  Yacht-Pool policies can be customised to the skipper's needs, providing options not always available with standard policies.  
• Global coverage  
  Regardless of the location, Yacht-Pool insurance offers worldwide protection, adapted to international standards.
