Insurance considerations specific to Mana Marina

Marine insurance cover is broadly similar across Wellington, but the geographic and operational character of each harbour produces some specific factors worth discussing with your insurer:

• Harbour-entrance bar conditions for departures
• Kapiti coast cruising and short-passage navigation areas

General factors to verify with your insurer

For any marina-based boat in New Zealand, the factual items worth checking in the policy schedule and product disclosure statement are:

• Whether the policy is written on agreed value or market value
• The default navigation area and any extensions you need for your planned use
• Excess levels for hull, machinery, third-party, and named-windstorm claims
• Marina-required minimum third-party liability cover (specified in your berth licence)
• Storm-mooring chafe, breakaway, and adjacent-vessel-contact cover
• Sub-limits for outboards, tenders, fishing gear, and electronics
• Whether on-hard storage cover applies during haul-out / lay-up

Find out what your marina requires

Each marina operator sets its own berth licence conditions, including the minimum third-party liability cover it requires from berth holders. Marina-required cover figures are commonly between NZ$2 million and NZ$10 million depending on the marina, but the current figure is set out in your berth licence — contact the marina office or check your licence document for the up-to-date minimum.
