Floating Home Insurance

Floating homes or houseboats are, as the name says, floating houses. And just like a house, a floating house should be insured. We want you to have many years of fun and enjoyment with your floating home. Therefore we offer a comprehensive insurance cover that protects you and your boat against different risks on the water.

  • A house can not accidentally break loose during a storm,
  • A home can not sink.



As insurers with many years of experience in water sports, we have been studying the risks of floating houses. As a result, we offer extensive customized insurance protection for your floating home with our "EIS-BASIC" cover packages.

Besides the insurance cover for the houseboat at its pier, the tender is co-insured within a radius of up to 100sm. Therefore, you have maximal freedom to move, you can discover the environment spaciously, or you can make use of the water sports offered. A complete household inventory insurance of up to 75 % of the insurance sum is also included in the BASIC cover for floating homes. We have also adapted our BASIC body for floating homes regarding risks covered. Among other things, vandalism, robbery, burglary, and just the attempt of such things are co-insured. So you can enjoy water sports with your tender with a clear conscience; the accident insurance is valid for your floating home and trips with the tender.
