Narrowboat Insurance: Protect Your Floating Home

Narrowboats offer a unique and leisurely way to explore canals and rivers, and they often serve as more than just a vessel—many owners use them as second homes or even as a primary residence. William Taylor Insurance provides comprehensive narrowboat insurance designed to protect both your boat and the lifestyle it supports, offering peace of mind whether you’re moored or cruising.

Coverage for Every Narrowboater

Our narrowboat insurance policies offer robust protection for a variety of scenarios:

  • Hull damage and total loss
  • Fire and theft
  • Equipment and personal effects
  • Third-party liability
  • Emergency towing and salvage costs

Whether you’re cruising along the canals or moored in a picturesque marina, our policies ensure you’re protected both on and off the water.

Policies for Every Narrowboat Owner

We recognise that every narrowboat and owner is unique. That’s why we offer customised policies to suit your specific needs:

  • Liveaboard narrowboats
  • Leisure cruisers
  • Hire boats
  • Historic vessels

No matter what type of narrowboat you own or how you choose to enjoy it, we’ll craft the perfect policy for you.

Why Narrowboat Insurance is Essential

Narrowboats require a tailored insurance policy to cover the specific risks associated with inland waterways, from potential collisions in narrow channels to accidental damage, vandalism, or theft. Unexpected incidents can lead to costly repairs, so having robust narrowboat insurance is crucial for safeguarding your investment.

William Taylor Insurance’s policies are crafted to provide essential protection, whether you’re navigating a new canal stretch or relaxing at your home mooring.

Our dedicated team understands the unique needs of narrowboat owners, with insurance options that include comprehensive cover, third-party liability, and personal effects protection to ensure you’re fully protected in every situation.

      Key Features of Our Narrowboat Insurance

      Our narrowboat insurance policies are designed to offer extensive coverage, giving you peace of mind on the water and at the mooring:

      • Third-Party Liability: Essential for navigating narrow waterways, third-party liability cover protects you from claims if your narrowboat accidentally causes damage to another vessel, canal structure, or injury to another person.
      • Comprehensive Damage and Theft Protection: Our policies cover accidental damage to your narrowboat from collisions, grounding, or even fire. Should your narrowboat be stolen, we’ll support you with replacement or repair costs, whether it’s in transit, moored, or on the water.
      • Personal Belongings Cover: Many narrowboats contain valuable equipment and personal items, especially those used as liveaboards. Our cover includes protection for your possessions, including navigational equipment, personal electronics, and more.
      • Emergency Assistance: When you’re on the water, reliable support is essential. Our policies offer access to 24/7 emergency assistance, helping you through urgent issues, whether you’re docked or out cruising.

      Additional Options for Personalised Protection

      We understand that narrowboat owners have varied needs. That’s why William Taylor Insurance offers additional options to customise your cover:

      • Home Contents Insurance for Liveaboards: If you’re using your narrowboat as your primary or secondary residence, our home contents insurance protects your belongings against theft, fire, or accidental damage. This option is ideal for liveaboards who have made their narrowboat a true home.
      • Personal Accident Cover: Accidents can happen at any time on the water. Our personal accident cover provides financial support in case of injuries sustained on board, covering medical expenses, accidental death, and permanent disability.
      • Legal Expenses Cover: Legal disputes involving your narrowboat can be costly. Our legal expenses cover assists with the costs associated with legal representation and claims, ensuring you’re supported through any disputes related to your narrowboat.
