Hull coverage

Agreed value hull insurance for yachts

Agreed value means you and the insurer settle on the vessel's value when the policy begins. In a total loss, that agreed amount is the starting point for payment, subject to policy terms and deductibles.

Why owners ask for it

It avoids depreciation arguments after a loss. It still depends on honest valuation and policy terms.

Questions to ask

  • How the value is set and updated at renewal
  • What a survey or appraisal must show
  • How partial losses are settled
  • Whether equipment and tenders are included

Coverage depends on the policy, the insurance company and underwriting approval.

Common questions

Is agreed value the same as replacement cost?

No. Replacement cost and agreed value are different settlement methods. Ask which applies.
