Is insuring a sloop mandatory?
A sloop is ideal for taking (long) boating trips with friends or family in the summer. To be able to enjoy your boat without any worries, a boat insurance is no superfluous luxury. You know exactly where you stand, should you unexpectedly suffer damage to your boat. Often the repair costs can be considerable. You can decide whether you take out insurance and what coverage you choose. Will you choose a basic WA boat insurance, which covers damage to (boats of) others or do you prefer more extensive insurance with an all-risk boat insurance? On Alpina.nl you can read all about insurance for your sloop.
When is it mandatory to insure your sloop in the Netherlands?
In the Netherlands it is not required by law to insure your sloop. You are therefore free to choose whether or not to insure your sloop. In some cases, however, third-party coverage may be required by an organizer or manager. This can be the case when you participate in races, in a marina or boat storage and on (part of) waterways.

What coverage
After you have found a sloop that meets all your needs, you can choose the insurance that best suits your sloop. There are three types of coverage for this insurance, namely:
WA
With third-party boat insurance, your boat is insured for damage you cause to other people's boats. Do you accidentally sail against another boat and is that boat damaged? With TPL insurance you will be compensated for this damage by the insurer. Is your own boat also damaged? This is unfortunately not compensated with only third-party insurance. To get this damage compensated, you need the all-risk insurance.
WA limited casco
The WA limited casco coverage is also called a WA+ coverage. It insures your boat against damage caused by fire, self-ignition, explosion, joyriding, storm and hail. In addition, you are also insured for damage to the contents of your boat.
All-risk/WA full hull
The most complete form of coverage is the all-risk boat insurance. With this you are, in addition to the damage mentioned above, also insured for damage to your own boat, even if you caused it yourself. For example, did you collide with the quay while mooring the boat? Then an all-risk insurance covers the repair costs to your boat.
