Insurance and equipment Carefree sailing

How are the yachts equipped?

Our yachts are tiptop and fully equipped. Of course, the equipment varies per boat. In the overview of motorboats and sailboats you will find all specifications for each boat. You need to bring your own bed linen, towels and food (unless otherwise stated). Some yachts offer additional options such as gennaker, spinnaker and life raft. If you would like to use these, you can indicate this on the booking form. Please take into account a possible extra charge.

Yachts are well insured

Carefree sailing starts with the right insurance. That is why every yacht you can rent from us is all risk and rental insured. The associated excess varies per boat. This is the deposit that you shortly before departure to the owner of the boat. When renting within the Netherlands, it is in consultation also possible to pay the deposit in cash. If you return the boat on time and in good condition at the end of the hire period, the deposit will be refunded to you.

Insurances you need to take out yourself

Prevention is of course always better than cure, but sometimes you just have bad luck. Even during your boating holiday on your rented boat. A good travel and
cancellation insurance policy aimed at renting a yacht is therefore super important. To make it extra easy for you, you can take out Unigarant's Sailing Holiday Policy immediately when you book a boat. Then, should anything happen, your holiday can continue as usual.
