Worth knowing
Bell Marine; cover, cost and conditions
Bell Marine is listed with 8 models, all rigid inflatable boats. The range includes the Apache 18, the 22 as Open and Cabin, the 23 as Open and Cabin and the 26 Cabin, plus the RIB Rock 30 and 36. Recorded build years run from 2004 to 2021, lengths from 5.3 to 10 m.
RIBs of this size are driven fast and are often fitted with two outboards. The number and individual power of the engines belong precisely in the policy, because they often make up the larger share of the value. The second point is the condition of the tubes: ageing under sun and salt is wear, but it lowers the value and should be reflected in the sum insured.
NAMMERT insures Bell Marine boats regardless of build year and place of purchase. As these boats usually travel on a trailer and are stored ashore, transport, time on land and theft belong in the hull cover. You can calculate the premium for liability and hull cover in the online calculator in about 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How do I state two outboards?
Enter the total power and give the number and individual power in the application. Only then is the full engine value represented and beyond dispute after a loss.
Are aged tubes a problem?
Not a reason for exclusion, but they lower the value. Pure ageing is wear and not a claim, whereas a tear caused by an event is. The sum insured should reflect the condition.

On an inflatable the cause decides, not the damage: a tear from impact is covered, porous fabric after years in the sun is not. The outboard belongs in the policy with its serial number.
