Haven Knox-Johnston introduce Sailaway - travel insurance policy designed specifically for sailors

With the world gradually reopening, and visits to distant horizons both afloat and ashore feeling like more than just a figment of our imagination, the crew at Haven Knox-Johnston Boat Insurance thought it was the perfect time to share the news about their new Travel Insurance, Sailaway, which is launching on 1st September 2021.
After frequent customer requests for a comprehensive travel insurance policy, Haven Knox-Johnston has worked with Aston Lark and Millstream Underwriting, a travel insurance specialist, to design a top notch policy that has an optional add on of a "Sailing Pack". An addition which will be of particular interest to those cruising out of their home port and into foreign waters - be it a quick pop across the Channel or further afield!
We all know that mooring fees can be uncomfortably expensive, and they soon mount up if you are unable to leave the mooring as planned. The Sailaway Sailing Pack extension gives you peace of mind that in the event of a medical emergency, any unexpected additional mooring costs will be covered. For those chartering in the UK or Europe, the policy will cover the excess due in the event of accidental damage or theft. A great comfort when handling the reversing quirks of an unknown boat in an unfamiliar marina!
A perfect solution for non sailors too! The cover is available as either a single trip policy, or a multi trip annual policy, and covers you for all the normal things you'd expect from a comprehensive policy, such as medical emergencies, cancellation, curtailment, delay and lost and stolen luggage, financial failure of airline, hotel or travel company and loss of passport. In addition, you can access the 360 Assistance service which gives you up-to-date, country-by-country information at the click of a button. And if you find yourself on a flight which is delayed for more than 2 hours, you can get access to a network of more than 1,500 executive lounges at airports around the world. There is also the option to include winter sports and other high risk activities - perfect for when you sail into Nice and want to nip to the Alps for a day's skiing!
