I always get asked – Do I Really Need Travel Insurance for a Yacht Charter?
Yes! And here’s why.
So, you’ve booked your dream yacht charter, but what happens if things don’t go as planned? Today, we are talking about why travel insurance is an absolute must-have for your yacht vacation.
A yacht charter is a big investment, and unlike a hotel, it’s not as simple as rebooking a night if something goes wrong. If you have to cancel last minute, travel insurance can save you thousands.
Here are some major things a good travel insurance policy can cover:
Trip Cancellation & Interruption – If bad weather, illness, or unexpected events force you to cancel or cut your trip short travel insurance will reimburse you for the costs of your trip.
Medical Emergencies – You’re out on the water, maybe in a remote area. If you need medical help or even an emergency evacuation, costs can skyrocket.
Lost or Delayed Luggage – Ever had an airline lose your bags? Now imagine that happening before a yacht trip—having insurance means you’re covered for lost essentials.
Weather Disruptions – If a storm forces a change in plans, some policies will cover extra hotel stays or rebooking fees.
Think of travel insurance like a life jacket—you hope you never need it, but you’ll be so glad you have it if something goes wrong. And trust me, unexpected things happen more often than you’d think.
So, if you’re planning a yacht charter, get travel insurance. It’s a small price for peace of mind. If you’re looking for a recommendation, work with a company like Yonder, which will give you options and help you compare policies to find the best plan for your trip.
