The right insurance for your sailing holiday

Travel Worry-Free with Pitter Yachtcharter 

A sailing holiday is the highlight of the year for many – freedom, nature, adventure. To ensure this experience remains a cherished memory, you should not only plan your route and check the weather but also secure the right insurance. 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

Instead of leaving a deposit of several thousand euros when taking over the boat, we offer you a simpler and stress-free solution: the Pitter Deposit Coverage. This replaces the traditional security deposit and reliably protects you against the most common damages during your trip.

Your Benefits at a Glance:

• No On-Site Deposit – no credit card blocking, no cash required for the deposit (except Marina Dell’Isola/Sardinia).
• One-Time Fixed Amount – full cost control, no surprises.
• No Deductible – you are fully covered in case of damage.
• Comprehensive Protection – includes damage to the yacht, mainsail, genoa, dinghy, and outboard motor.
• Simple Processing – report damages easily, we handle repairs and billing.
• Maximum Relaxation at Check-Out – no insurance forms, no discussions.

Not covered by this deposit coverage: Blister, gennaker, spinnaker, and loss/theft of improperly stored and secured yacht equipment (such as all cushions, fenders, boat hooks, dinghy, outboard motor, winch handles, anchor...), clogged toilets and waste tanks, gross negligence (failure to follow instructions in the onboard manual and information material on the yacht), incorrect refueling, and damage due to grounding.

Deposit Coverage Flexibly Bookable – Even Afterwards!

The Best Part: You can book the Pitter Deposit Coverage at any time – even if it wasn't selected during the initial booking! Here's how:

• Through our Office in Hartberg – quickly and easily via email or phone.
• Directly at Your Charter Base During Check-In – even at short notice before the trip begins.

The Pitter Deposit Coverage is valid at numerous bases of the Nautic Alliance fleet in Croatia, Italy, Greece, and Spain.
