Chipping Norton, United Kingdom (PressExposure) January 27, 2011 -- Running from the 7th to the 16th January 2011, large numbers of boating enthusiasts descended on the ExCel Centre for the annual London Boat Show. With a selection of top attractions and displays on the new and improved marina style boardwalk for visitors to enjoy, there was enough to keep every member of the family thoroughly entertained. The continued rise in the popularity of boating has however led to increased efforts to remind those new to the boating experience to purchase boat insurance to ensure of complete protection of vessels at all times.
With the large scale boardwalk allowing visitors to view a collection of stunning cruisers and boats from the same level as if they were floating on water, the attention bestowed on these engineering masterpieces was relentless from start to finish. This level of attention reflects their stunning beauty but also highlights their true value which in turn can make them a tempting target for thieves and vandals when docked. Director of Insure My Boat, David Quick, further emphasises the importance of purchasing boat insurance to protect against such actions;
"Once again the London Boat Show was a huge success which is great for everyone involved within the boating industry. However as the price of boats continues to rise, so do the incidents that can be financially protected against through boat insurance.
With a comprehensive level of cover in place you can have peace of mind that should any number of unfortunate events occur to you or your vessel, the policy you have taken out will lessen the financial impact upon yourself and your family."
A variety of boats from the most recognised names in the boating industry were on show in abundance throughout the event and with the prices associated to purchasing a vessel of this standard, it is no surprise that owners are being encouraged to purchase the highest levels of cover to protect their assets.
Visitors had the opportunity to step onboard some of the finest boats and see for themselves the qualities they possess. It is important to acknowledge the fact that insurance cover including accidental damage, personal effects protection and wreckage removal is essential on both top of the range models alongside the standard vessels to offer all boat owners suitable protection.
As London Boat Show closes its doors for another year, the likelihood is that the next wave of boaters will be eager to hit the water as the spring and summer months approach. With this in mind, purchasing adequate boat insurance should be the first stage of enjoying life onboard your own boat and protecting your financial asset should the worst case scenario occur.
