There is nothing like spending time on your boat in the great outdoors, the sense of freedom it gives, whether that be on wider seas or beautiful inland lake. Do you enjoy recreationally sailing on your boat or using your dinghy to compete in races? Whichever it may be, having dinghy insurance will help give you peace of mind on and off the water, as well as potentially save costs in the long run.
Whilst it is not a legal requirement to have dinghy insurance many places where you'll want to use your dinghy will insist on it. So, it is a good idea for boat owners to have some form of insurance in place, to help protect themselves, the boat and others around them. In particular, where dinghy racing is involved, many clubs and other launch sites will also have their own rules and regulations, which often include requiring boat insurance to be able to race. You should always check ahead of time if you need insurance or not, to avoid any mishaps and in order to find the best coverage for your own personal requirements.
Not only is having insurance a necessity in some locations, it also helps to give peace of mind when boaters are on and off the water. Is it generally seen as good practice to purchase an insurance policy.
