Worth knowing
Swiss Wooden Boats; cover, cost and conditions
Five ranges are on record: Cutwater 500, Lake Constance 700 and 760, Rapp Blue Sky 600 as well as Runabout 750. Four of them are motorboats, the Lake Constance 760 is listed as a motor yacht. Building has been going on since 1998 and 2003 respectively and still today, so the programme runs without interruption.
Whether a boat is moved on an inland lake or on the coast is one of the premium factors. Alongside type of boat, value, year of construction and engine power, the cruising range affects the contract, which is why it should correspond to actual use when you take out the policy.
If you head for a cruising area abroad, you receive the international certificate of insurance automatically in ten languages. Otherwise the cover also applies in winter storage, during craning, during launching and on the transport route, and a boat trailer is included at no extra premium.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does it make a difference whether a boat sails on a lake?
Yes, the cruising range is one of the premium factors. Inland waters and the coast are classified differently, alongside type of boat, value, year of construction and engine power.
Which proof applies when crossing a border?
The international certificate of insurance in ten languages, which is issued automatically. It proves the cover within the agreed cruising range to harbours and authorities.

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 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.
