Worth knowing
Waterbus S.C.; cover, cost and conditions
Waterbus S.C. appears in our records with 13 models, mostly power catamarans: the Independent and Cube houseboat lines from the Mini version up to 15 metres, plus the Waterbus range from the 700 to the 1300. Production runs since 2016, with lengths from 6.5 to 15 metres.
With houseboats, the policy depends especially on how the boat is used: berth, cruising area and insured value must be stated accurately, even if the boat mostly stays moored. That way the cover matches the actual use, whether as a residential berth or under way.
NAMMERT insures Waterbus houseboats and catamarans regardless of build year and place of purchase. You can calculate the premium in the online calculator in 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does NAMMERT insure a Waterbus 900?
Yes. The 8.1 metre Waterbus 900 has been built since 2017 and can be insured with NAMMERT for liability and hull cover.
Does NAMMERT also insure a houseboat that stays moored at the dock?
Yes. Even a houseboat that mostly stays moored needs liability cover. What matters is stating the berth and use correctly in the application.

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 catamarans the bridgedeck between the hulls is the sensitive part, and the berth belongs in the application: double width often means a mooring rather than a marina.
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.
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.
