The boating season is over and the time for winter storage begins. Yacht owners who have fully comprehensive yacht insurance with BAVARIA all-risk coverage can face the winter without any concern. Whether you leave your dinghy cruiser on the club premises, the day cruiser on your own property or your yacht on dry land in a marina hall camp, the insurance coverage of BAVARIA all-risk cover naturally includes the time during winter storage.
However, the far-reaching insurance coverage does not relieve the yacht owner from ensuring proper winter storage in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Despite the extensive insurance coverage, damage arising from frost or ice, for example, are excluded from the scope.
The cold season often takes its toll; more than 1/3 of all damage reported to BAVARIA occurs during winter storage. If your operator requires you to provide a so-called waiver of recourse, or if you have any other questions about yacht insurance, the BAVARIA AG team would be happy to assist you on
