Worth knowing
American Metalcraft Marine; cover, cost and conditions
American Metalcraft Marine is listed with 12 models spread across RIBs, motorboats and motor yachts. The range includes the Interceptor models in 9, 10, 11 and 12 m and the Interceptor 4344, the Kingston 26, 32, 36, 40 SAR and 54 and the Kingfisher 28 and 29. Build years run since 2018, lengths from 8.5 to 16.5 m.
Boats of this type are often used in government, rescue or security service, as designations such as SAR and Interceptor suggest. That is the decisive point for insurance: commercial or official use needs its own cover, because operating hours, crew and mission profile present a different risk from leisure use. A pleasure craft policy does not respond there.
For privately used aluminium boats from this yard the usual applies: corrosion is wear, damage caused by an event is covered, and regularly checked anodes preserve the value. With these boats NAMMERT first clarifies the use and places the policy accordingly. Talk to us and we will look at your case together.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Can I insure a patrol boat under a boat policy?
Not under a leisure policy. Government, rescue and security use needs commercial cover that accounts for crew, mission profile and operating hours. Tell us how the boat is used.
What should I watch on an aluminium hull?
Galvanic corrosion is the typical ageing process and counts as wear. Regularly checked sacrificial anodes and sound wiring at the berth are the most effective protection and preserve the value.

As the series is still in production, parts are available and repair costs are predictable. Even so, value it at replacement cost including retrofitted electronics, not at list price.
On an inflatable the cause decides, not the damage: a tear from impact is covered, porous fabric after years in the sun is not. The outboard belongs in the policy with its serial number.
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
On motor yachts the drive and the electronics together make up about half the value. Both belong in the valuation, otherwise the sum insured is too low.
