A complete and tailored Rescue Boat insurance

Rescue boat injury healthcare expenses

Up to €150,000. Shoulder/wrist tendinitis from coordinated crew effort (8-9 sync rowers), lumbago from disc compression, opponent-oar impact trauma, sea-fall hypothermia, seat-friction thoracic bruises: we cover specific injuries.

Transport and repatriation

At actual cost. Saint-Louis Sète Tournament (August, jousting + rescue boat), FFJSN Championships, Mediterranean heritage festivals (Sète, Agde, Marseillan, Marseille), cultural event demos: we organise medical repatriation from any country.

Rescue Boat Competition option

The Rescue Boat Competition add-on covers the Saint-Louis Sète Tournament, FFJSN Championships, heritage festival demos, 6-rower crews (small boats) and 9-rower crews (large Languedoc tradition boats).

Disability benefit

Up to €200,000 per person. Competition rescue boat imposes a coordinated 6-9 synchronised rower effort at very high cadence on 500-2000 m races. Chronic injuries (disc hernias, serious tendinitis) can invalidate a season, so cover is essential for regular crew members.

Why is Rescue Boat insurance essential?

Rescue boat is a historic Mediterranean team sport. Crews of 6 or 9 rowers, led by a stern coxswain and a standing timonier who sets the rhythm, propel the boat on 500 to 2000 m races in the Sète canal. The Saint-Louis Sète Tournament (since 1666) combines jousting and rescue boat, and the FFJSN federates the discipline. Risks include tendinitis from high-cadence coordinated effort, lumbago and oar-impact trauma in close racing.
