Worth knowing
Picton Boats; cover, cost and conditions
Picton built light, fast sports boats that are run with surprisingly powerful engines for their size. It is precisely this combination that determines the premium: it is not the value of the hull that decides but the engine output in kW. A more powerful engine fitted later without notification is the classic point of dispute in a claim.
Anyone who goes fast should use the kill switch with its lanyard. On small boats, going overboard at full speed is the case that turns damage to property into personal injury. Our personal accident cover applies to everyone on board, and the lanyard costs nothing.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Do I have to report an engine upgrade?
Yes, before the first trip. The output is the basis for calculating the premium, and without notification you put your cover at risk.
Is the driver himself insured?
Through the personal accident cover, yes; it applies to everyone on board, including when getting on and off.

Series by Picton, with value and cover
Picton Marlin / Sabre is a motorboat from Picton (the United Kingdom), built from 1975 to 1995, and today changes hands at between €3,000 and €12,000.
Picton Sportsman 16 / 18 is a motorboat from Picton (the United Kingdom), built from 1980 to 2000, and today changes hands at between €4,000 and €16,000.
For a series of this age there is no list price left. That is why we work with an agreed value: you state the figure, we agree it, and in a total loss exactly that amount is paid, with no deduction for wear.
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.

Each model has its own page with cover, cost and the points that matter for that boat. Your model not listed? We insure it all the same.
