Narrowboat Insurance Specialists
Your narrowboat is a large investment for you, so it’s important to make sure that you have the right level of cover, should the worst happen. Here at Assist Insurance Services Ltd, we have designed insurance policies for narrowboats that gives you the most comprehensive cover available. You’ll have the added peace of mind when you insure with us and this is because you’ll receive great cover as standard. There are many optional extras to choose from too, so that you can tailor the cover around your individual circumstances, as we completely understand one policy does not suit all.
Our flexible policy options means you have a choice of 3 covers:
Craft & Liability Cover
This covers damage to the craft and includes public liability. This is the most popular cover and is suitable for most boaters.
Craft Cover Only
This covers damage to your craft only and is suitable for someone who is keeping their boat permanently ashore or refurbishing the bat ashore.
Third Party Liability Cover Only
This cover gives liability only cover and excludes any damage to the craft. This is suitable for very small crafts and for someone who needs the liability cover in order to launch their craft.

“This is my third year with Assist. Unfortunately, in the first year it was necessary for me to make a claim for a stolen push bike. Having done all the reporting and paperwork, my claim was dealt with QUICKLY AND EFFECTIVELY. This was all during the first lock down. Very impressed!”
