Pleasure Craft Insurance with Over 50 Years’ Experience

Owning your own boat should be about enjoying time on the water, not worrying about insurance. Since 1975, Velos has been helping pleasure craft owners arrange cover that’s tailored to their vessel and the way they use it.

Our policies aren’t listed on any price comparison site, as we source coverage specific to each customer’s requirements.

Our all-risk pleasure craft insurance policies include cover for your vessel against:

Fire, lightning, explosion
Theft, malicious damage or vandalism
Accidental loss or damage
Personal accident cover
Third party cover for incidents

Our competitive third-party liability and fully comprehensive boat insurance policies not only insure the boat and associated property (such as water skis, personal belongings and toys), but also includes liability cover for you as the boat owner, and personal accident insurance for emergency medical expenses for yourself and your guests should the worst happen.

If you plan to race your boat, we can provide tailored coverage for the associated risks. Just let us know when requesting a quote, so we can help you find the protection you need.

Get a no claims discount on your pleasure craft insurance policy

We offer a No Claims Discount scheme (available to both existing and new customers, subject to proof) which gives you a 25% discount on your policy. If, unfortunately, your boat is damaged whilst in a marina, your No Claims Discount will be unaffected, and we won’t charge you an excess. This is provided at no extra cost for boat owners on your yacht policy.

If you do have to make a claim, you can rest assured that our UK, London-based, helpful and efficient claims team will be able to take you through the process.

Our in-house claims team will be on hand to guide and support you through the claims process and work with you towards a speedy and effective resolution.
