Charter Insurance

As GotoSailing.com, we've partnered with Pantaenius to offer you additional charter insurance packages for your bookings with us. You can select one of the charter insurance packages provided by Pantaenius that perfectly suits your needs.

Please note that travel cancellations and travel interruption caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus are excluded from travel cancellation costs insurance until further notice. There is also no insurance cover in the event that the chartered yacht is not available due to illiquidity of the yacht agency or the charter company. This temporary change applies to all contracts concluded from 18.03.2020 onwards.

Please Note

The insurance cover is only provided for the private use of a charter yacht. A paid skipper will not be covered. The policyholder can only be an individual.

Persons who are domiciled in the European Union, Switzerland, the United Kingdom (UK), Norway or Iceland can be insured. For fiscal/legal reasons, policy holders may not be persons who are domiciled in the United Kingdom (UK), Italy and/or have Italian citizenship. Such persons may however be co-insured as crew members or skippers.

As the policyholder, you can claim your insurance directly from Pantaenius. GotoSailing.com is not the insurer and any claims should be requested directly from Pantaenius.

Benefits Inculded in Charter Insurance

Skipper Liability Insurance

Skipper's liability insurance covers damage that is caused to third parties through the use of the chartered motor or sailing yacht and tender by the skipper and crew. Included in the insured risks are damage to other ships and to harbour or jetty installations. Damage arising from gross negligence on the chartered ship and not covered by the lessor's hull insurance is also included. Also included are cover for cancellation of charter, confiscation, hotel and transport costs and financial loss.

Trip Cancellation Costs Insurance

Return journey cost insurance reimburses any contractually payable charter cancellation costs and outward and return travel costs arising from the non-availability of a non-commercial skipper or of one or more crew members, or, if the journey is abandoned after commencement, any additionally incurred return journey costs and the relevant portion of the charter costs.

Travel Health Insurance

In addition to costs of medical treatment, medication and admission to hospital, foreign travel health insurance reimburses any return ambulance transport to the home country or repatriation costs in case of death.

Charter Cost Protection

The Charter Cost Protection covers the insolvency of the agency or the charter company.

Personal Accident Insurance

The accident insurance in the charter package provides cover in cases of death and invalidity, including a number of aspects that are not protected by general accident insurance. Skipper and crew are insured during private use of the chartered yacht, tenders and watersports equipment and for trips ashore of up to 48 hours.

Bond Insurance

Bond insurance covers the financial risk in cases where the lessor retains the bond provided, in full or in part –whether or not this is justified.
