Boat Insurance
Whether you enjoy relaxing while boating down a canal, riding the rapids in a canoe or kayak, or cruising in your yacht or dinghy, you still expect, and deserve, the best marine insurance coverage possible. E&L® Boat Insurance provides the comprehensive cover you need allowing you to relax and enjoy the water without worry.
Watersport participation figures in the UK are up to 3.7million for people aged 16 and over*. With a rise in the number of vessels on the water there is also an increase in the chance of an accident happening. What would you do if you collided with another boat, or had an accident whilst out at sea? The British leisure marine industry grew by 8.5% in 2004. This proved to be the industry’s third consecutive year of growth**. With more people and vessels in the UK waters, the chance of an accident or damages happening is also on the increase. Therefore, taking out insurance to cover your boat and third parties is a necessity. With public liability and personal accident cover included as standard in our boat insurance policies, you can relax knowing you have comprehensive cover for all eventualities.
We spend thousands of pounds each year insuring our car, home and contents so it makes sense to protect the items that provide you with some of the most enjoyable moments in life. Regulation also means that sailing in many British Waterways requires insurance.
