Our boat insurance provides cover for your boat if it’s involved in an accident, damaged or stolen. It also provides legal liability cover, which can protect you if you’re found liable to pay compensation to someone because you’ve accidently injured them or damaged their property while using your boat.

Our boat insurance also includes limited cover for accidental death and certain types of serious personal injury.

Frequently asked questions

The cost of boat insurance is called a ‘premium’. Your premium will depend on a number of factors and can change each year when you renew your policy. 

There are many factors that determine how your premium is calculated, such as:

  • Value of the boat or pleasure craft
  • The type of boat or pleasure craft
  • Construction materials 
  • The type of engine, fuel, power and maximum speed
  • Where and how your boat is stored when not in use
  • The level of third-party liability cover you include
  • Options taken such as water skiing or yacht racing, lay up cover, excess levels and geographical or navigational limits
  • Your risk profile 
  • Your claims history

The cost of Club Marine boat insurance ranges from minimum annual premiums in the hundreds of dollars for a low value aluminium runabout, to tens of thousands of dollars for a high value, top of the range cruiser or yacht. To find out the cost to insure your boat, get a quote now.

This depends on national and state laws and regulations, where you use your boat, where it’s stored, whether it’s under finance and other considerations. It may be worth considering boat insurance and the cost of replacing or repairing your boat, even if you don't plan on keeping it in the water. Your boat can still be covered for things like accidental damage, fire, theft or natural disasters.

Club Marine Pleasure Craft Insurance is designed by insurance professionals with a real understanding of boating, so you can enjoy your boating lifestyle. We do not provide advice based on any consideration of your objectives, financial situation or needs.

This depends on your home and contents insurance policy, though it may only provide cover when your boat is stored at the home location.

Club Marine Boat Insurance covers your boat when it’s stored and while you’re out boating.
