Boat insurance in Gibraltar
Sailing around Gibraltar’s beautiful coastline and beyond is an exciting adventure, but it comes with risks. From unpredictable weather to unexpected incidents, having reliable boat insurance ensures you can focus on your journey with complete peace of mind.
At Topsail Insurance, we offer specialist boat insurance designed to protect your vessel and those on board, wherever your travels take you.
Why Choose Our Boat Insurance In Gibraltar?
Protection for your boat and equipment
Boats are exposed to various risks, from accidental damage and theft to natural disasters. Our boat insurance provides cover for repairs and replacements, ensuring your vessel remains seaworthy and that essential onboard equipment is protected.
Third-party liability protection
Busy marinas and open waters can bring potential risks involving other vessels and property. Our third party liability cover protects you from costly claims, legal expenses, and damages that may arise from an accident involving your boat.
Medical and emergency support
Safety at sea is essential. Our policies include personal injury protection, medical assistance, and emergency support, ensuring you and your passengers are cared for in case of an accident or unexpected event.
Flexible policies for different types of boats
Every boat owner has unique requirements. Whether you are planning seasonal cruising, long-distance sailing, or competitive racing, we offer customisable marine insurance that adapts to your needs. We cover a wide range of vessels, including sailing yachts, motorboats, and other types of boats.
Can Topsail provide boat insurance for vessels registered in Gibraltar or just UK registered vessels visiting Gibraltar?
Topsail are able to offer boat insurance for either Gibraltar registered or UK registered vessel.
As Topsail is based in the UK do I have to pay Insurance Premium Tax if my vessel is registered in Gibraltar?
We’re pleased to say the answer is no. Vessels registered in Gibraltar are not liable to pay Insurance Premium Tax. This also applies even if they are cruising other territorial waters such as the UK or continental Europe.
Can I still arrange cruising outside of Gibraltar waters?
As well as covering local waters Topsail can arrange boat insurance that covers the adjacent Atlantic coast or further into the Mediterranean. For more adventurous cruising we can cover Oceanic passages.
What mooring areas do you cover?
These three marinas are the main recreational yacht marinas in Gibraltar and are all situated within the sheltered Bay of Gibraltar, making them popular stopovers for vessels transiting between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
What if I have a claim in Gibraltar
We want your boating to be a pleasurable experience and hope you don’t have incidents but we’re here to help if the worst happens. Our experienced claims team will guide you through the process and can arrange to appoint local surveyors with repairs carried out in local yards where required.
