No matter what size your boat is, marine insurance protects you from the unexpected on the water.
Why do I need marine insurance?
Getting out on the water and fishing, swimming and relaxing is one of the great kiwi pastimes. However, boat owners often underestimate the types of risks that come with owning a boat - whether its a small trailer boat or a big cruiser.
Marine insurance covers you for damage to your vessel, as well as looking after any liability that you may face after events in transit, when moored or even out on the water.
A good marine insurance policy gives you peace of mind that your favourite activity won't result in unexpected costs for you. Talk to your Certus broker today to find out more.
