Marine, Boat, jet ski & watercraft insurance in Spain and Europe.

MARINE & BOAT INSURANCE IN SPAIN 

BOAT INSURANCE FOR ALL FORIEGN AND SPANISH REGISTERED VESSELS IN SPAIN, PORTUGAL & GIBRALTAR.

Marine & Boat Insurance in English.

Pursuant to Spanish Royal Decree 607/1999 of 16 April, you must hold civil liability insurance for any recreational boating.

As we are sure you can imagine, with Spain virtually surrounded by water, boats play a major part of the Spanish and Expat culture. Every conceivable type of boat from the small inflatable dinghies to the larger commercial ferries and passenger ships ply the Mediterranean waters of our coastlines. There are hundreds of Marinas along these shores and although there is a relatively large fishing fleet, most of the water crafts tend to be for private use. Sailing yachts and speed boats can be seen bobbing about.

Most shoreline areas are cordoned off to pleasure craft during the tourist seasons to ensure the safety of swimmers. A large number of coastal towns have areas for rental boats, jet skis and private speed boats as well as a large variety of yachts. Small private marinas also provide facilities such as restaurants and bars which are regularly frequented by the locals and Expats alike. Having boat insurance is a legal requirement in Spain and you must ensure that you keep a copy on board at all times. The local Police or Guardia Civil regularly patrol the seas and the marinas and will regularly check your documentation, not just for insurance but for the correct boat documentation and safety equipment as well. 

Gone are the days of anyone just being able to launch a boat and go out fishing. Regulations and inspections are the new format adopted by the local authorities and although they are allowing foreign registered boats to use these waters, they are tightening the regulations to ensure that all craft are seaworthy and have the correct documentation.
