Who is Covered by Yacht and Sailing Club Insurance?
Yacht and sailing club insurance can be arranged to cover the club itself as an entity and its employees. Cover can also extend to volunteers who help run events or maintain facilities, visitors to club premises, and third parties who may be affected by club activities. The exact scope of cover depends on the policy, which is why we work with each club individually to ensure the right protection is in place.

Frequently Asked Questions
What insurance does a sailing club typically need?
Most sailing clubs require a combination of public liability insurance, employers’ liability insurance, and property cover for valuable assets such as pontoons, jetties, moorings, and equipment. Clubs that own or operate a fleet of boats will also need fleet insurance, and those that run racing events or regattas may require one-off event cover. Contents insurance, business interruption cover, and member protection are also commonly included. The exact combination depends on the size of the club, the activities it runs, and the facilities it operates.
If you’re unsure of the type of coverage you need, call us today on 03333 609 886.
How is sailing club insurance priced?
Premiums are based on several factors, including the size of your club, the extent of your assets and facilities, the number of employees or volunteers, whether you own and operate a fleet of boats, and the types of activities and events you run. Because no two clubs are the same, we work through your specific requirements before providing a quote that best suits your circumstances.
Can small or volunteer-run sailing clubs obtain insurance cover?
Yes. We work with clubs of all sizes, from small community clubs to large clubs hosting national championships. Our team takes a personalised approach rather than applying a standard policy, which means cover can be structured appropriately for a club run primarily by volunteers.
