Travel insurance is essential for any guests joining a Yacht Week event.
It can cover unexpected events such as trip cancellation, trip interruption, or medical emergencies while you’re away from home. With travel insurance, you may be reimbursed for non-refundable expenses if you have to cancel your trip due to unforeseen circumstances, such as a sudden illness or a natural disaster.
Travel Insurance can also cover emergency medical expenses, including hospitalisation, medical evacuation, and repatriation. Additionally, some policies may provide coverage for lost or stolen baggage, travel delays, or accidental death and dismemberment.
When you sign our Terms and Conditions, you agree that you have sufficient coverage.
This can be purchased from any travel insurance provider, but be sure that your policy has sufficient coverage for both sailing and any other activities you want to do during the week.
