At Pitter Yachtcharter, your worry-free journey is our priority – with simple, transparent, and reliable insurance solutions for your yacht charter.
Pitter Deposit Coverage – Our Exclusive Protection Package

The price for the deposit coverage is determined by the size of your booked yacht.
At Pitter, we take care of the entire damage processing with the base. You don't have to fill out any forms, advance any payments, or initiate any claims.
We recommend taking out this insurance. Skipper liability insurance protects the skipper from the financial consequences of personal, property, and financial damages that may occur during a charter holiday. It also covers gross negligence, covers damages to third parties (including crew members), and defends against unjustified claims.
