Broad, flexible cover for your runabout, jet ski, launch or yacht while within the coastal waters of New Zealand, in transit on its trailer and while stored.

If one incident means you need to claim on multiple Tower policies, you’ll only pay one excess. The highest excess applies.
If you haven’t had a claim with us (or another insurer) during the last year of your insurance, you’ll receive a discount on your premium.
We provide cover for loss that happens to your boat, on land, on water, in storage or on its own trailer.
If you accidentally damage someone else's property with your boat, we'll cover your liability in respect of a claim.
We’ll replace your boat with a new boat of the same make and model subject to current local availability if, as a result of a loss covered by this policy, your boat becomes a total loss.
Where the loss is to your boat motor and that motor is five years old or less, we’ll pay for the costs of new mechanical and electrical components.
If your boat is a yacht, we’ll provide cover while it’s being used for social yacht racing (as defined in the wording).
We’ll temporarily cover any boat you purchase to replace your boat that was previously insured under this policy for up to 14 days as long as the new boat is $250,000 or less.
We’ll cover you for legal liability up to $5,000,000 imposed on you by the terms and conditions of a lease or agreement with you for the provision of a berth or storage facility for your boat.
If you’ve chosen this optional benefit, we’ll cover loss to your recreational equipment (fishing gear, diving equipment, and waterski equipment) while it’s on your boat or in use.
If you keep your boat stored over winter, we offer optional lay-up cover that means you pay a reduced premium for the period your boat is not in use (eligibility criteria applies).
This is a summary only. See the policy for the full list of benefits, terms and conditions.
