Chipping Norton, United Kingdom (PressExposure) June 08, 2010 -- Last week marked 'Safe Boating Week' an event that aims to promote the importance of safety when sailing. A major event in the USA, boat owners in the UK could be forgiven for missing the occasion. However, Insure My Boat has pledged to bring the message to Britain by reinforcing just how vital boat insurance is.
Whilst those sailing upon the waterways in the UK are not required by law to purchase boat insurance, Insure My Boat recommend that all boat owners make the purchase. A small annual or monthly payment could protect thousands of pounds worth of investment in the event of fire, vandalism, theft or accidental damage.
'Safe Boat Week offers an excellent opportunity to highlight the importance of safety on the water. One of the best ways that we think that boat owners can enhance their safety and security whilst sailing, is by purchasing boat insurance.' David Quick, MD.
The company believes that the primary reason why boat owners fail to purchase insurance is that finding a suitable quotation can be a time consuming task. Unlike mainstream varieties, there has previously been no way for individuals to quickly compare quotes.
However, Insure My Boat have developed an innovative system that allows every boat owner to purchase insurance at the click of a mouse. By inputting information about their boat, individuals can receive a list of policies that have been tailored to their requirements. They can even purchase the policy online, using a variety of payment methods.
To avoid high premiums, Insure My Boat suggest that a prevention rather than cure attitude is required. They have a range of resources on their website that detail how boat owners can enhance their safety whilst on the water. This includes information about life jackets, preventing theft and marina safety.
For further safety tips, information about the company or to compare boat insurance quotations, clients are encouraged to visit the website or call to speak to one of their consultants on 0845 450 5126.
