Deep Purple 519 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I’d say your up sh*t creek. Trying to get insurance on a 38 year old boat without a survey is going to be hard if you’re not already with them for some time. I found that with Sundreamer, I was locked in to a company and to shop around needed a survey. No point Still, try baileys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 108 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Baileys were good to us and we didn't get a survey for cover. Our boat is (cough) , a bit older too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 519 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 They probably just didn’t want multihulls Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philstar 61 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 We got our insurance for freedom through Nautical insurance. We are a 1970's multi on a swing mooring with race cover. they were great with no survey required. they just wants pics of the boat and a statement that the boat was in good condition.

BMW56 12 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I went with Youi. 1979 Spencer 28 on a swing mooring. No need for a survey and the premium was quite affordable. They were one of the few interested in insuring on a swing mooring, so I didn't have many choices. Their only condition was that mooring inspections are kept up to date and done by an independent party (i.e. can't self certify). I checked out the policy against one offered by State Insurance (who did require a survey and would have required them on an ongoing basis) and the terms and conditions were very similar. State's premium looked like it would be half as much again, but they wouldn't provide a formal quote without a survey. I've not needed to make claim, so can't comment on my experience in that respect. My other comment is that Youi's salespeople are quite aggressive keen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 410 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Try the company you have as a household insurer. Love the Westhaven mandatory $5 million third party requirement when I questioned the ludicrous amount the reply was that's our insurers advice. Christ my 10m old woody would have to wipe out a few marina fingers to qualify that claim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Myjane 40 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Try baileys I’ve found them very loyal and good to deal with , Neil Bailey who I dealed with ,in the beginning was good .and that’s 20 years ago and still with me , but not made a claim to comment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rafin 2 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Pretty well all marinas now want $5mil 3rd party cover, not much if you happen to set fire to a few new boats. Do you need full insurance? Some companies will sell just the third party cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonathan 4 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 I only have an immediate need for 3rd party but if reasonable would consider a bigger policy... will try baileys now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonathan 4 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 also from those who have ac systems onboard.... how much did your eWof cost you? I am a 120V boat, I feed 240 into a full isolating step down transformer then into the boat via a decent system, from there charge 12V run fridges etc etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 From memory about $200 allowing for straightforward re-check of system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
khayyam 92 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 of course, seeing this a while back reminds me of why the marinas are keen on big $ liability cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkMT 68 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 ...which maybe suggests that the amount of 3rd party cover should depend on displacement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazyhorse 47 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Bryan Noonan, Nautical in Christchurch. No survey, $5mil liability which is what you will need for marina cover and our boat is timber, built in 1966...and told him we have a still on board. No problem.

Black Panther 1,686 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Just spoke to Brian. Seems a decent bloke who knows what he's talking about. Plus a very competitive price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
