Why do I need kayak travel insurance?

Kayaking brings excitement and relaxation, but it also exposes you to specific risks, like water hazards and unpredictable conditions.

Here’s why specialised kayak travel insurance is essential:

  • Medical and Evacuation Coverage: Traditional health insurance may exclude injuries sustained during water sports. Our policy covers kayak-specific risks, ensuring you’re protected in any situation.
  • Protection for Essential Gear: Kayaking requires specialised equipment that can be costly to replace. Our insurance protects your investment, so your gear stays covered against loss or damage.
  • Confidence on Every Waterway: With weather unpredictability and potential water hazards, comprehensive kayak travel insurance prepares you for anything, from rough waters to equipment loss.

Whether you’re a seasoned kayaker or trying it out for the first time, Rise & Shield’s kayak travel insurance provides protection designed for every water journey.
