Why owners choose this cover

Marine cover for
Greek-based boats

1

Hull, machinery & gear

Full replacement cover for the boat plus engines, electronics and personal effects on board — sail or motor, day-boat or live-aboard, EU-flagged or otherwise.

2

Third-party liability

Standard EUR 3M third-party liability — the minimum most Greek marinas require for berth registration, with higher limits available.

3

EU-wide cruising

Cover follows the boat across EU waters as standard — cruising the Aegean, Ionian, into Italy, Croatia or onwards is included with no extra paperwork before each trip.

Marine Insurance Cover Details

Marine cover for
cruising the Aegean

Greek-paper marine policies tend to be inflexible — narrow cruising areas, awkward laid-up conditions, and claims paperwork in Greek. Our marine product is written on Lloyd’s paper, in English, with cruising areas that actually match how boats based in Greece are used.

✓ Hull & machinery cover with agreed value
✓ Third-party liability — standard EUR 3 million
✓ Personal effects, dinghies & outboards on board
✓ EU-wide cruising as standard — no Schengen restrictions
✓ Out-of-water / winter lay-up reduction

Why Abbeygate for Marine

Boat cover in English,
handled by humans

A lot of Greek marine policies sit on local-paper wordings that are hard to read and harder to claim on. We arrange the same Yachtsman policy used by owners across Greece and the wider Med — English-language, English claims, EU-wide cruising as standard.

01

Marina-friendly paperwork

Greek marinas (Lavrio, Athens, Rhodes, Corfu) accept the Yachtsman schedule for berth registration — we send it in the exact format they expect.

02

English-language claims

When something goes wrong with the boat, the last thing you want is to translate a surveyor’s report. Claims are handled in English, surveyors are appointed who speak English, and we sit between you and the underwriter throughout.

03

Realistic cruising areas

EU cruising as standard — not a 50-mile box round the home marina. Trips into Turkish waters, Albania or Montenegro can be added by endorsement.

Customer Testimonial

★★★★★

"Sorting residency health insurance for my family was the bit I was dreading about moving to Greece. Abbeygate had the right tier on the right paper, in English, and the certificate landed in our inbox the same day. Immigration desk accepted it without a question."

Marine FAQs

Common questions about marine cover

EU waters as standard — which covers the Aegean, Ionian, Adriatic, the Italian coast, and onwards through the western Med to France and Spain. Trips outside the EU (Turkey, Albania, Montenegro, North Africa) can be added by endorsement.
Agreed Value. We document the boat’s market value upfront based on make, year, condition and any recent survey — and that’s what gets paid in a total loss. No depreciation surprises.
Private pleasure use is included as standard, including loaning the boat to named friends or family. Commercial / paid charter is a different rating class and we’ll quote it separately.
Yes. Most owners reduce premium with an out-of-water / lay-up clause from November to March. Cover continues against fire, theft and storm while ashore.
Yes — all the main Greek marinas accept the Yachtsman schedule and IPID for berth registration. We send the paperwork in the format the marina office expects.
