What contents are covered under Boat Insurance?

If your contents are lost or damaged as a result of an event we have agreed to cover, you'll be covered up to $1,000.

You can also opt to increase your contents cover. If you choose to increase your contents cover above $1,500, the most we'll pay for a single item is $1,500.

The contents we cover must be used solely in your boat, and includes:

  • Household items and appliances
  • Portable navigation equipment
  • Driving equipment (while not in use)
  • Fishing equipment (while not in use)
  • Waterskiing equipment (while not in use).

Contents we don't cover include:

  • Portable electronic items and accessories, phones and cameras
  • Cash, jewellery, watches and personal effects
  • Fuel
  • Food, Drinks, Medicines or Bait
  • Sporting equipment such as sailboards and surfboards
  • Contents solely used on your boat tender.

If your claim is for theft, attempted theft, or vandalism, you won't be covered if your items were not in a lockable cabin or compartment at the time of the incident, or if there was no proof of forced entry into the locked cabin/compartment.

Important note for customers in NSW, Queensland, Tasmania and the ACT:

If your policy was

  • First purchased before 21 April 2024 and not yet renewed
  • Last renewed before 1 July 2024

your cover will be different. Call us on 132 132.
