Sail with Confidence

Pleasure Crafts Insurance designed to protect your vessel, your passengers, and your freedom on the water.

Protection for your Vessel

For those who love the water, a boat is far more than a vessel — it is a passion, an escape, and a significant personal investment. Whether you own a sleek motorboat, a sailing yacht, a speedboat, or a leisure craft of any kind, the risks associated with time on the water are unique and deserve specialist protection.

From accidental damage and collision to theft, fire, and liability for injury to third parties, the financial consequences of an incident on the water can be substantial. In the UAE, where the Arabian Gulf offers some of the most beautiful waters in the world and boat ownership is a significant part of the lifestyle, having the right cover in place is as essential as any other aspect of responsible ownership.

FAQ

What does Pleasure Crafts Insurance cover?
Pleasure Crafts Insurance provides comprehensive protection for your leisure vessel and everything associated with it. It covers physical damage to the hull and machinery, theft and vandalism, third-party liability, passenger liability and personal accident, onboard equipment and personal effects, and emergency assistance and towing. The exact scope of coverage depends on the plan you choose, and at GSIB we ensure your policy is structured to reflect how, where, and how often you use your vessel.
Standard exclusions typically include damage arising from wear and tear, gradual deterioration, or lack of maintenance, losses arising from operating the vessel under the influence of alcohol or drugs, damage caused by racing or competitive events unless specifically covered, and losses arising from war or political violence.
Third-party liability insurance is mandatory for all registered pleasure crafts operating in UAE waters, as required by the UAE maritime authorities. Comprehensive cover beyond the mandatory minimum is strongly recommended for any vessel owner who wants to protect their investment.
Standard pleasure crafts policies typically cover UAE territorial waters and the immediate Arabian Gulf region. Cover can be extended to international cruising areas upon request. This clause is subject to the insurer’s geographic terms and any additional premium that may apply.
Contact GSIB as soon as possible following the incident. If the incident involved a collision or third-party damage, obtain the details of all parties involved, take photographs of the incident, and do not admit liability at the scene. If the vessel requires emergency assistance, contact the relevant maritime authority and your insurer’s emergency assistance line immediately.
