Travel Insurance for Yacht Rental — Nautical Protection for Your Peace of Mind
He travel insurance in yacht charters with Yatezzitos is the extra layer of protection that allows the group to enjoy every moment on the water without worrying about what might happen if something unexpected arises during the sailing day. However, nautical travel insurance is not the same as vessel insurance: the yacht's policy protects the vessel and the owner, while passenger travel insurance protects each member of your group against medical expenses, cancellations, and delays that may affect them during the excursion.
What Does Nautical Travel Insurance Cover
First and foremost, a travel insurance policy for a yacht excursion can cover medical expenses resulting from an accident on board or in the water during aquatic activities, including first aid, medical transport, and hospitalization at the destination. Some travel insurance products also cover reservation cancellation due to force majeure events such as serious illness, a pre-excursion accident, or extreme sea conditions that make it impossible for the yacht to depart on the scheduled day. In addition, travel insurance may include local legal assistance in the event of any incident during the nautical activity that requires legal intervention. Some marine activity travel insurance products also cover the loss or theft of personal belongings on board the yacht.
How to Get Travel Insurance for Your Yacht Excursion
First of all, groups booking with Yatezzitos can purchase their own travel insurance independently through recognized insurers in Mexico such as AXA, GNP, or Qualitas Compañia de Seguros. In addition, some premium credit cards (Amex Platinum, Visa Infinite) include automatic travel insurance coverage when the reservation is paid with the card. For that reason, before the day of the outing we always recommend that the group verify what travel insurance coverage they have available and whether it includes water activities in its terms. According to data from the insurance industry of Wikipedia on travel insurance, travel insurance has grown more than 30% in the Mexican market since 2019.
