Water does something to you. As soon as you step aboard a boat, the day slips away. Free to choose where you want to sail. Follow your heart, the sun and the wind. The pace slows down. Follow the rhythm of nature or explore harbor towns from the water. If you don't have your own ship, you can rent it and often without a license. Own Ship guarantees well-maintained boats, ready for departure. Are you going for luxury or basic, large or small, sporty or stable, motorboat or sailboat? Choose a yacht that suits you from our varied fleet.
Enjoy sailing in a sailboat or motorboat. With friends for a weekend or a longer family holiday. Then you don't want any worries if something unexpected goes wrong. Simply take out Unigarant's Sailing Holiday Policy via Own Ship. A good travel and/or cancellation insurance policy aimed at boating holidays when renting a boat.
