Worth knowing
Viamare; cover, cost and conditions
Viamare inflatable boats are the typical yacht tender and second boat: rollable, inexpensive, with a small outboard. The hull value is low, the engine is the most expensive part. It belongs in the contract with its serial number, otherwise hull insurance only covers the boat in the event of theft.
The most frequent claim reported for tenders is loss: at night from the pontoon, from the stern or from the beach. A security cable through both lifting eyes, an engine lock and a look at the mooring lines are more effective than any clause. Theft is covered in limited hull cover and full hull cover.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Is a tender included in the yacht insurance?
Up to an agreed sum, yes. Beyond that we carry it separately in the contract.
Is the tender engine insured against theft?
Yes, if it is stated in the contract. Without a serial number proof is difficult in the event of a claim.

Nautical information What counts before you cast off, papers, equipment, waters
Licence
Required inland and at sea from 15 hp (11.03 kW); below that, none.
Registration
Registration from 3 hp; carry the boat certificate on maritime shipping routes.
Waters
Inland lakes, the coast and the Wadden Sea, mind the tide tables and the fairway.
Equipment
Lifejackets, paddles, pump, repair kit, anchor gear and signalling equipment.
Cruising range
RIBs close to the coast; check air pressure before every trip and after temperature swings.
Weather
From Beaufort 4 the ride turns hard, and offshore wind sharply raises the risk of drifting.
General guidance, not a complete account; what governs are the rules of the waters you are on and your boat’s manual. Current wind force and direction for your waters are shown on the Home.

As the series is still in production, parts are available and repairs are predictable. Still, set the value at replacement cost, including sails, rigging or gear you bought later.
Even without an engine the rule holds: a tear from impact or vandalism is covered, UV ageing is wear.
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.
