Worth knowing
Ribco SA; cover, cost and conditions
Three ranges are on record for Ribco SA: the Seafarer 33 from the years 2010 to 2016, the Ribco Seafarer 36 from 2017 to 2023 and the Ribcom 34, which has been built since 2023. All three are listed as inflatable boats with an engine. Anyone travelling with them across national borders receives the international certificate of insurance in ten languages.
In the cruising area, what counts next is the scope of cover. Full hull cover carries collision, grounding, vandalism and theft of parts including the outboard; limited hull cover carries fire, storm, lightning strike, the theft of the entire boat and damage in winter storage. There is no time window and no night clause.
No further details about lengths and build programme are available, and the policy does not need them either. Third-party liability with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros forms the basis, the boat trailer is included at no extra premium, and cover applies in winter storage, during craning, during launching and in transit.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How do I prove my cover in foreign marinas?
With the international certificate of insurance, which you receive automatically in ten languages. It documents the existing insurance cover to marinas and authorities abroad.
Is the engine on the inflatable boat covered?
Theft of parts including the outboard is part of the scope of full hull cover, as are collision, grounding and vandalism. The requirement is a complete schedule in the application.

Series by Ribco SA, build years and cover
Ribcom 34 is an inflatable with engine from Ribco SA, built since 2023.
Ribco Seafarer 36 is an inflatable with engine from Ribco SA, built from 2017 to 2023.
Seafarer 33 is an inflatable with engine from Ribco SA, built from 2010 to 2016.
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.
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.
