Boat insurance is protection for you and your boat against the risks of using your boat on inland waterways or the sea. Boat insurance can cover theft, loss or damage plus third-party claims if you accidentally injure someone or damage their property while operating your boat.
-
Boat insurance is not a legal requirement in the UK however many marinas and boating clubs will require proof of third-party boat insurance to access their facilities or become a member.
Third-party insurance is often the minimum level of insurance required by Marinas, Harbours and UK inland waterways for you to access their facilities or waters, so it is an important consideration.
Visit the gov.uk website for more information.

Third-party liability boat insurance protects you against any claims made against you if you accidentally injure another person or damage another person’s boat or property while operating your boat.
For example, if you accidentally damage another boat whilst manoeuvring in a marina, third-party liability insurance would help cover the legal costs if you were deemed responsible for the incident. -
Boat insurance is a requirement if you use canals or waterways managed by the Canal & River Trust. Many marinas and harbours also require proof of insurance for you to launch or moor there.

When buying boat insurance, it’s important to consider that the policy aligns with your specific needs. While discounts aren't guaranteed, taking steps to increase your boat’s security, such as storing it in a recognised marina, can sometimes help reduce your premium.
GJW Direct policies can also include marina scheme benefits which may entitle you to special policy endorsements.
Visit the specific boat type page to see if your boat type offers any potential benefits or endorsements.
