MALLORCA – INSURANCE

Insurance for yacht charters in Mallorca

WHICH INSURANCE COVER IS INCLUDED WITH YOUR MALLORCA YACHT CHARTER

Your yacht charter in Mallorca already includes cover for the key risks. The insurance package comprises comprehensive hull insurance for damage to the chartered yacht, third party liability insurance with no deductible, and charter cancellation cover.

Under the comprehensive hull policy, the deductible depends on the size of the yacht. Additional insurance can be arranged to cover further risks.

Included with your charter

  • Comprehensive hull insurance for the yacht
  • Third party liability insurance with no deductible
  • Charter cancellation cover
  • Hull insurance deductible based on yacht size

Deductibles, security deposit and additional insurance cover

The insurance policies included may be subject to deductibles. Additional cover can provide further protection against specific financial risks.

  • Comprehensive hull insurance: The deductible is determined by the size of the yacht.
  • Charter cancellation cover: If a claim is made, an additional excess equal to the security deposit applies.

Security deposit insurance

Security deposit insurance can provide extra financial protection against the consequences of damage to the yacht.

  • Reimbursement: In the event of an insured loss, the security deposit will be reimbursed.
  • Premium and excess: The amount depends on the level of the security deposit.

Travel cancellation insurance

  • Reimbursement: If the trip is cancelled for health reasons, 80 percent of the cancellation costs will be reimbursed.
  • Cover: The charter fee and flight costs can be included.

Extended skipper liability insurance

Extended skipper liability insurance supplements the existing cover for the risk of the skipper being held liable in cases of gross negligence.


What should you do if damage occurs during your cruise?

If damage occurs during your cruise, it is important to limit the loss, notify the relevant party promptly and document the incident carefully.

  1. Limit the damage: First, take steps to prevent the damage from becoming worse.
  2. Inform the base: Report the incident as early as possible.
  3. Document the incident: Record the damage and how it occurred.
  4. Agree the next steps: Coordinate repairs and damage assessment with First Class Sailing.

Document the damage and how it happened

  • Incident: Record what happened and what damage is visible.
  • Logbook: Enter the incident in the logbook as well.
  • Grounding: Note the exact position.

For certain types of damage, contact the relevant authorities as well

Coordinate repairs and damage assessment

Please agree the next steps with your base manager.

Additional insurance cover

Add extra protection for your security deposit, travel cancellation and skipper risks

Beyond the insurance package already included, additional cover may be worthwhile. For these policies, we recommend our partner Yacht-Pool. Options include:

Security deposit insurance

This can reduce the financial risk associated with the security deposit paid. The deposit itself must still be lodged when the charter begins.

Travel cancellation insurance

This may be relevant if the booked trip cannot be taken for an insured reason. The applicable terms and conditions of the policy will always apply.

Extended skipper liability insurance

This enhances the existing insurance cover with additional skipper related protection. Scope and eligibility depend on the insurance tariff selected.
