Peace of mind, on and off the water
Whether you’re cruising through the pristine waters of Wineglass Bay or fishing off the Tasman Peninsula, the freedom that boating provides is unparalleled. But with this freedom comes the responsibility of protecting your boat and your personal safety.
Protection against Tasmania's unique conditions
From strong winds to sudden storms, the risk of damage is real when boating in Tasmania. Insurance may help repair or even replace your boat if it's affected by the elements, and more. Whether you’re navigating the remote channels of the Gordon River or docking in Hobart, securing your investment with boat insurance helps to protect your asset financially.
Protection from natural hazards
Our waters are beautiful, but challenging. Our coastline is known for its shifting weather patterns, and hazards like submerged rocks or unpredictable currents can catch even the most experienced boaters off guard. Insurance may help you recover from these incidents, covering repairs caused by environmental factors and unforeseen natural events. With insurance, you can focus on enjoying your boating adventures, from the calm stretches of the Derwent River to the wild waters of the Bass Strait.
Protection from theft and vandalism
Even tucked up securely in your driveway, the risk or theft or malicious damage still exists. Boat insurance can cover you in case of theft, whether it's your boat or the motor attached to it. Protecting your assets from these risks helps increase your peace of mind, even when you’re not on the water.
Protect your legal liability
We will cover you or any person you allow to control your boat against your legal liability for:
Accidental death or bodily injury to a person;
Damage to property; caused by the use of your boat.
Boating around Tasmania should be a relaxing and exhilarating experience, not one filled with worry about the “what ifs.” By securing boat insurance, you’re ensuring from bad weather to accidental damage — you’ll be ready. Protect your boat, your passengers, and yourself with comprehensive coverage and set sail with the peace of mind that comes with knowing you're prepared for the unexpected.
