RIB Insurance
A RIB or "Rigid Inflatable Boat" usually consists of a strong rigid frame with a tough inflatable skin that ensures the weight of the vessel is kept to a minimum. The addition of an outboard or inboard engine then ensures that the RIB can travel very fast over the water and remains excellent value for money whether the vessel is being used for cruising, fishing or water skiing. These type of vessel have evolved to become a popular choice for mariners who wish to carry out a number of marine activities.
Sports Boat Insurance
Our Sports Boat policies ensure you are fully covered in the event of an accident. Insurance for speedboats tend to be more expensive than the majority of similarly price vessels as owners predominantly purchase “speed boats” for one reason to “GO FAST” across the water. This greatly increases the risk of an accident and injuries and therefore is likely to be more expensive.
