Boat Trailer Insurance

Consider Trailer Boat Insurance Coverage in New Zealand

Protect your boat and trailer with a policy designed specifically for New Zealand’s unique marine and on-road challenges. At Baileys Insurance, we understand that transporting your vessel comes with additional risks that need special coverage. Our boat trailer insurance provides a layer of safety for your investment against accidental damage, theft, and unforeseen incidents on the road and in the water.

*Unfortunately, we are unable to quote for your boat if it is aged 50 years or older.  We are also unable to quote if you are currently insured with Nautical Insurance, Vero Marine or if your boat is registered outside NZ.

Why Trailer Boat Insurance Matters for New Zealand Waters

New Zealand’s boating lifestyle is diverse, from coastal cruising to inland lake adventures. Towing your boat on a trailer exposes you to risks on both land and water. Dedicated trailer boat insurance is important for protecting your asset and ensuring a stress-free experience.

When your boat is towed on a trailer, additional dangers may emerge. Road travel and launch operations involve potential collisions, bumps on uneven surfaces, and handling risks. Accidental impacts can lead to costly repairs, and our coverage addresses such incidents promptly and efficiently.

Marine enthusiasts enjoy a wide range of adventures in New Zealand. Our policy is designed to adapt to different usage patterns. It provides robust cover for recreational trips around local harbours and inland waterways as well as extended coastal voyages. This means your boat and trailer will remain protected for short trips or long journeys.

Comprehensive Coverage on Land and Sea

Our policy delivers protection for every aspect of trailer boat ownership. We offer comprehensive cover that spans the full spectrum of risks associated with transporting and storing your vessel.

Accidental Damage Protection

During transit, your boat and trailer may suffer accidental damage from collisions or minor impacts on the road. Our cover ensures that repair costs are taken care of, minimising disruption and protecting your asset. With prompt assessment and repair services, you can get back on the road and water with minimal delay.

Theft, Vandalism, and Storage Risks

Security is a top priority. Incidents such as theft or vandalism can occur even in secured facilities. Our insurance protects both your boat and trailer if they are stolen or damaged while in storage. This cover provides financial relief and reduces the stress of unexpected losses, safeguarding your investment at all times.

Launching and Retrieval Coverage

The process of launching and retrieving your boat involves handling heavy equipment and navigating narrow ramps. These operations can sometimes result in accidental damage. Our policy includes cover for mishaps during these critical moments, ensuring that repairs are managed quickly and efficiently so that you can focus on enjoying your time on the water.

At Baileys Insurance, we recognise that every boat owner has unique needs. Our independent advice allows us to compare a wide range of trusted providers and design a policy that fits your specific circumstances.
