Worth knowing
Knoop; cover, cost and conditions
Two motorboats are recorded under Knoop: the Arabella 685 with build years from 1968 to 1981 and the Sportfischer 330 from 1974 to 1981. For boats built four decades ago there are no list prices any more. The agreed value in full hull cover replaces them and sets the compensation in advance.
The agreed value is arranged when the policy is taken out and is paid out in the event of a claim with no deduction for depreciation ("new for old"). In the Premium tariff full hull cover applies with no age limit, so a boat from the 1960s or 1970s remains eligible for hull insurance. We insure regardless of the year of construction, the place of purchase and previous owners.
For the premium what counts is the type of boat, the value, the year of construction, the engine power and the cruising range. Full hull cover includes collision, grounding, vandalism and theft of parts including the outboard, limited hull cover includes fire, storm, lightning strike, theft of the whole boat and damage in winter storage.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How is a sum arrived at for a boat with no market price?
Through the agreed value. It is arranged when the policy is taken out, is based on the replacement value including equipment and is paid out in the event of a claim with no deduction for depreciation.
Does a boat built in 1968 remain eligible for hull insurance?
In the Premium tariff full hull cover applies with no age limit. We insure regardless of the year of construction, the place of purchase and previous owners; what is decisive is the technical data and the value that has been arranged.

Series by Knoop, build years and cover
Arabella 685 is a motorboat from Knoop, built from 1968 to 1981.
Sportfischer 330 is a motorboat from Knoop, built from 1974 to 1981.
For a series of this age there is no list price left. That is why we work with an agreed value: you state the figure, we agree it, and in a total loss exactly that amount is paid, with no deduction for wear.
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
