Insurance Charter Packages

 

 

Insurance packages are options offered to guests of sailing yachts chartered by Sail in Greek Waters. We present insurance packages offered by one of the top marine insurers, Pantaenius. These packages are offered on top of private insurances as well as on top of yacht insurance. Private insurances usually cover accidents and health related costs and yacht insurances cover damages caused to the yacht by skipper or crew, above a specific amount, the deposit which is withheld before charter, from skipper or crew.

On the other hand, skipper liability insurance covers damages resulting from the use of a chartered yacht and dinghies by the skipper and crew. Examples: Damages to other vessels and berth and port facilities, or damage caused as a result of gross negligence by the chartered yacht. Usually however these cases are covered by the insurance of the chartered yacht, so the extra insurance package won't be needed.

However, private insurance policies do not cover claims by one crew member against another which might incur high claims, in case of personal injuries. In any case, it depends on the type of private insurance whether it covers damages resulting from the use of yachts. The elements covered by insurance packages of Pantaenius are:

- SKIPPER LIABILITY INSURANCE: It provides benefit up to the amount of the contractually agreed insured sums in the event of justified third party claims. Such benefit provides compensation in cases where persons are injured or killed, property is damaged, destroyed or becomes lost or fi nancial losses occur as a result of the use of the chartered boat

- TRIP CANCELLATION AND CURTAILMENT COSTS INSURANCE: In the event that the skipper cancels or in the event that one or several crew members cancel the contractually owed cancellation costs for the charter and also for the outward and return journeys are reimbursed.

- BOND INSURANCE: This insurance refunds you the bond deposited by you if the charterer withholds such bond following an event of loss.

- TRAVEL ABROAD HEALTH INSURANCE: indemnity for necessary medical expenses incurred during the period of the charter abroad in respect of acute illness, severe accidents and other events named in the contract.

- PERSONAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE: Accident insurance provides financial security for the insured persons during the charter journey up to the agreed amount in the event of disablement or death as the result of an accident. Your policy schedule and your application specify which types of insurance you have selected for your charter journey.
