  If you're stepping aboard as skipper on a bareboat charter, you already know how important preparation is. Charts, weather, crew briefings... the list goes on. But there’s one more thing that smart skippers never skip: personal liability protection.

  Isn’t the Yacht Already Insured?

  Yes! All our charter yachts are fully insured with Pantaenius, including comprehensive hull and third-party liability cover. That means you're not expected to carry the burden of insuring the vessel itself or worrying about basic third-party coverage.

  However, skipper liability insurance is an optional personal policy that protects you—the skipper—against certain costs that fall outside the yacht’s coverage.

  

  Why Do You Still Need Skipper Insurance?

  Even with a fully insured yacht, a skipper can sometimes be held personally liable in certain situations. For example:

  • Gross negligence or breaking the charter agreement
  • Damage to third-party property not covered by the yacht’s policy
  • Legal claims made directly against you as skipper
  • Financial loss to the yacht owner due to misuse or delays

  Skipper Liability Insurance doesn’t replace the yacht’s insurance — it protects you personally, adding an extra layer of security.
