As an insurance company with years of experience in water sports, we’ve been studying the potential risks associated with floating homes and provide comprehensive, custom insurance coverage for your floating house by offering the “EIS-BASIC” cover packages.
In addition to the insurance coverage for the houseboat on its pier, the tender is insured within a radius of 100m. So, you’ll have maximum freedom of movement, you are able to explore the area in a spacious manner or take advantage of the water sports available. Full household inventory insurance that covers up to 75 percent of the total insurance amount is included in the BASIC coverage that floating houses receive. We also modified our BASIC insurance for floating homes in terms of risks that are covered.
In addition vandalism and robbery, in addition to burglary, and attempts to commit such crimes are covered. In order to allow you to take pleasure in water sports on your tender with peace of mind, the insurance for accidents is not just applicable to your floating house, but also for excursions with the tender.
