An important part of a boat charter is the possibility of absolute freedom on your vacation, your accommodation taking you where you want to go, choosing where to anchor and deciding on the route yourself. But not all of us are fortunate enough to own a boat or even a sailing license ourselves and this is where we are glad to turn to rental charter platforms to cover our needs. This way, the existing charter yachts are used more, which leads to more sustainability. Insurance partner Baloise believe strongly in the sharing economy for the future and Robert Bargmann, Directeur International Non-Life Baloise, puts it like this:
“With the yacht charter agency we could once again demonstrate the strength of sharing “can-do” approaches for providing insurance coverage where it is needed, when it is needed and so further improving customer experience.
Together with bsurance, Baloise is glad to provide a solid embedded solution in the evolving sharing economy.”
How does the charter deposit insurance work?
The deposit insurance is a smart and affordable way to get back a partial or full deposit in case of unexpected damage to the chartered yacht during the trip and protects the renter and the crew from the loss of the deposit due to damage to the boat, stolen or lost equipment.
The insurance can easily be added during the booking, as it is fully integrated in the customer journey. It can also be added after the booking, needing only the booking code and the travel dates.
The beauty of the insurance is that it is available for all customers, hence offering a solution across the borders. This is also one of the aspects that Lorenz Graeff, CEO and founder of bsurance, wants to highlight:
“Very proud of the cooperation with the yacht charter agency and Baloise! Together we created a relevant offering for all customers. Working closely with a German partner and an insurance carrier from Luxembourg, this launch underlines bsurance’s strength in implementing cross border solutions.”
