Worth knowing
Vortex; cover, cost and conditions
Vortex appears in our records with 25 models, mostly inflatables of the Blue Airdeck, Blue Honey Bee and Blue Polywood lines, plus some rigid inflatable boats. They were built from 2003 to 2018, with lengths from 2.3 to 4.5 metres.
Vortex boats are small and easy to transport, so liability cover is the basis: it covers damage the boat and its engine cause to others. Transport on a trailer or roof rack is included with NAMMERT, and hull cover for boat and engine can be added.
NAMMERT insures Vortex inflatables regardless of build year and place of purchase. You can calculate the premium in the online calculator in 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does NAMMERT insure small Vortex inflatables under 3 metres?
Yes. Even the 2.3 metre Blue Airdeck 230 can be insured; liability cover is the sensible basis as soon as an engine is fitted.
Is transporting a Vortex inflatable covered?
Yes. Transport on a trailer or car roof is included in the NAMMERT policy, so the boat is protected on the way to the water as well.

Nautical information What counts before you cast off, papers, equipment, waters
Licence
Required inland and at sea from 15 hp (11.03 kW); below that, none.
Registration
Registration from 3 hp; carry the boat certificate on maritime shipping routes.
Waters
Inland lakes, the coast and the Wadden Sea, mind the tide tables and the fairway.
Equipment
Lifejackets, paddles, pump, repair kit, anchor gear and signalling equipment.
Cruising range
RIBs close to the coast; check air pressure before every trip and after temperature swings.
Weather
From Beaufort 4 the ride turns hard, and offshore wind sharply raises the risk of drifting.
General guidance, not a complete account; what governs are the rules of the waters you are on and your boat’s manual. Current wind force and direction for your waters are shown on the Home.

For a series built in these years the market value and the replacement cost often differ widely. An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
Even without an engine the rule holds: a tear from impact or vandalism is covered, UV ageing is wear.
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.
