Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Insurance (2016/7) - Single handed coverage??


Alexandre Uster von Baar <uster@...>
 

Very interesting information Colin,

I am currently an “unhappy” customer of Helvetia (contracted through insurance DeLassee), still in search of another insurance…
Therefore, I am "single handed" covered but limited to 24 hours of sailing and not restricted to sail at night (which is what I always do to arrive early morning).
Also not limited to anchor and leave the vessel unmanned.

Panteanius was high on my list, because people on the forum seem to have a good experience following claim and also they fully cover lightning damages, but I found their coverage price expensive… 6706 Euro (or $7200) with a 4000 Euro deductible.
Now they are unfortunately out…

Ahead of cruising this year we are keen to
compare and decide on the most suitable insurance for global
cruising. We have been with Panteanius since 2011 and they
are great but we have never actually needed to claim yet and
have mainly cruised locally.
On trawling through this site Panteanius
appears to have a lot of support, however there are now
recent comments about their Caribbean and Pacific insurance
no longer being competitively priced, and on Island Pearl II
we have a specific concern reading our policy in detail
today with their "single handed clause - no cover if
sailing between dusk and dawn or on a passage >
100nm!!" Although
we normally sail 2 up there will be times when I am sailing
some shorter passages alone so absolutely cannot accept
insurance coverage with such a clause included in
future.
Furthermore on
other forums I am reading of 2016/7 coverage changes
(various insurance companies - not sure if Panteanius
specific?) where the boat must be manned at all times when
anchored to be able to move out the way in case of collision
with other vessels who have dragged their anchors.or no
coverage!!" Imagine the problems this creates in never
being able to go ashore together...

Those of you who have "single

with, and your experience / recommendations.. (possibly even
if anyone actually has this coverage included with
Panteanius elsewhere?) 
Much
