Worth knowing
KM Yachtbuilders B.V.; cover, cost and conditions
Sailing and motor yachts stand side by side at KM Yachtbuilders B.V.: the Bestevaer 45, the Bestevaer 53 MY, the Pelagic 63 and the Bestevaer 65 from 1992 to 2007. Small series and self-builds are insurable at NAMMERT, as are individually built hulls.
The Bestevaer 45 and the 53 MY are listed to the present day, the Pelagic 63 ran out in 2022, the 65 already in 2007. Old and new side by side is irrelevant for the policy: we insure regardless of year of construction, place of purchase and previous owners, the full hull cover in the Premium tariff with no age limit.
Yachts from small production runs have no off-the-shelf catalogue value. That is why an agreed value is fixed, according to which settlement is made in the event of a claim with no deduction for depreciation (new for old). Up to a sum insured of 2.5 million euros the online conclusion is sufficient.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Are individually built yachts insurable at all?
Yes, small series and self-builds are insurable. The value is fixed as an agreed value, and in the event of a claim settlement is made with no deduction for depreciation (new for old).
Is a cruising yacht for long passages treated differently?
The cruising range is laid down in the policy and has an effect on the premium. The international certificate of insurance is automatically enclosed in ten languages.

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 sailing yachts the rig and the underwater hull are the expensive parts: a dismasting quickly costs a quarter of the boat, and osmosis counts as wear and is covered by no hull policy.
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.
For a series built in these years the market value and the replacement cost often differ widely. An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
