What is boat insurance?
Boat insurance is a specialist coverage that provides financial protection to your boat, any equipment onboard and your legal liability if you injure somebody or cause property damage while using your vessel.
Our insurance policies can be tailored to a wide range of vessels, including motorboats.
What is covered by Stoneways Marine boat insurance?
Depending on the coverage you opt for, your boat insurance policy can pay out if your boat is accidentally damaged, stolen, destroyed by fire, storm or sinking, or vandalised.
The Stoneways Marine boat insurance cover can also contribute towards salvage costs, recovery, and occasionally medical or rescue costs.
When applying for your boat insurance, ensure you check the documents to see exactly what you’re covered for. If you’re unsure exactly what’s included in your boat insurance policy, call 03333 609 886.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does boat insurance cost in the UK?
We’re unable to provide a concrete insurance figure for your boat without knowing the details of it and you. However, boat insurance in the UK can range anywhere upwards of £100, depending on the size, value and type of boat, as well as how and where you use it.
Different types of insurance policies vary in price, too, such as comprehensive coverage compared to third-party boat insurance. The best way to find out how much your boat insurance will cost is to contact our team for a quote.
Do I legally need boat insurance in the UK?
No, boat insurance is not a legal requirement in the UK. However, many inland waterways, marinas and harbours will demand proof of some type of coverage – usually third-party liability insurance – to allow you to berth there.
