A complete and tailored Sailing insurance

Sailing injury healthcare expenses

Up to €150,000. Boom impact (concussion, cervical trauma), limb fractures from projection in a tack, sea-fall hypothermia (Vendée Globe South), winch rope friction burns, polytrauma in an AC75 or SailGP F50 capsizing: we cover sport-sailing-specific injuries.

Transport and repatriation

At actual cost. Vendée Globe (Sables d'Olonne, solo round-the-world), Route du Rhum (Saint-Malo-Pointe-à-Pitre), Transat Jacques Vabre, Solitaire du Figaro, America's Cup (Barcelona, Auckland, San Francisco, Bermuda), world SailGP, Olympic Games: we organise medical repatriation by helicopter or medical jet from any ocean.

Offshore Sailing option

The Offshore Sailing add-on covers ocean races (Vendée Globe, Route du Rhum, Transat Jacques Vabre, Volvo Ocean Race) and IMOCA 60, Class40, Ultim, Maxi and Mini 6.50 classes. It includes deliveries, qualifications, stopovers and ocean medical repatriation.

Disability benefit

Up to €200,000 per person. Sport sailing cumulates risks: boom impact (a major sailing death cause, 30+ km/h swing in a tack), sea fall in the ocean (5-minute hypothermia in the South Atlantic), AC75/SailGP F50 capsizing at 100+ km/h on foils, rope injuries and ocean medical isolation.

Why is Sport Sailing insurance essential?

Sport sailing gathers world-recognised disciplines. The Vendée Globe, a solo non-stop unassisted round-the-world race in IMOCA 60 foils, remains sailing's Everest, while the Route du Rhum and the America's Cup (AC75 foils, 100+ km/h) attract the stars. SailGP in F50 catamarans and the Olympic classes complete the calendar. Specific risks are the boom impact (a major mortality cause), sea falls in a hostile ocean and medical isolation in open water.

The rate depends on your practice and the desired cover duration. For a one-off regatta (Spi Ouest-France, Tour de France à la Voile), the weekend plan suits; for a full season (championships + a transat or the Vendée Globe), the annual plan with the Offshore Sailing add-on is best.
