Canal and Narrow Boat Insurance

Tranquil waterways providing picturesque scenery and wildlife means boating on some of the UK's 4000 miles of inland waterways presents utmost contentment for many. With an average speed of only 4mph most of the time there is no safer way to travel. Sadly though every year accidents and injuries do occur, usually through inexperienced navigators on the waterways. The increase in popularity of canal and narrowboat holidays means that whilst you may be experienced, sadly not everyone on the water is.

Canal boats can cost up to £100,000*, and with the average second-hand canal boat cost coming in at around £40,000**, it is easy to understand why boat insurance is required. Even though insuring your boat may not be at the forefront of your mind, it is a necessity in order to protect both your vessel and yourself from losing out financially.

Although it is not possible to guarantee against something unexpected happening, we can help you by easing the financial burden in the eventuality that something does go wrong.
