Why do I need offshore sailing insurance?

Offshore sailing brings freedom—and certain risks, especially when you’re far from immediate help. Here’s why specialised offshore sailing insurance is essential:

  • Comprehensive Medical and Evacuation Coverage: Standard health insurance usually doesn’t cover injuries or illnesses that occur during high-risk activities like offshore sailing. Our policy includes essential coverage for offshore needs.
  • Protection for Essential Gear: Offshore sailing requires specialised, high-value equipment. Our insurance covers loss or damage to your gear, so you’re protected against unexpected expenses.
  • Peace of Mind in Remote Waters: The open sea comes with unpredictable conditions. With full insurance coverage, you’re prepared for anything the ocean might bring.

Whether you’re an experienced sailor or preparing for your first offshore voyage, Rise & Shield’s offshore sailing insurance ensures you’re protected through every wave.
