Damage waiver insurance, also known as deposit insurance, is an option offered by SAILOÉ.
This insurance is designed to reduce the financial liability of the tenant in case of damages or unforeseen expenses related to the rental property.

Insurance Subscription: When you rent a SAILOÉ boat with a skipper, bail bond insurance is mandatory, and it costs 6% of the boat rental amount.
SAILOÉ will reduce the amount of the security deposit you need to pay at the time of the rental. For example, if the initial security deposit is 8000 euros, by subscribing to the insurance, you could reduce this deposit to 1500 euros.

Ouest Assurances
Franchise Buyback Insurance
Regardless of your country of residence, by purchasing franchise buyback insurance from Ouest Assurances Plaisance, you reduce your risk in the event of a claim.
This coverage applies, during reasonable navigation, to material consequences for the tenant, as a result of clearly defined accidents resulting from external impacts on the vessel, with a fixed or moving body affecting the vessel and being recorded in the ship's log.
Cancellation, Assistance, and Repatriation Insurance
If you are a European resident and are considering a cabin rental or cruise, regardless of the destination, you may not think about unforeseen events that could prevent you from going.
Subscribing to cancellation insurance prevents you from losing the deposits paid for your rental in case you need to cancel due to one of the events covered by the contract affecting you or a family member.
Subscribing to assistance and interruption of stay insurance allows you to implement any assistance justified by a medical issue affecting the designated insured during their cruise.
