About the Business
Welcome to Club Marine Boat Insurance, the leading insurance agency located at Brighton Esplanade in Australia. As an establishment and a point of interest, we specialize in providing comprehensive boat insurance coverage for all types of boats.
At Club Marine, we understand that the cost of boat insurance is an important consideration for boat owners. The premium for your insurance policy depends on various factors and may change each year when you renew your policy. Our premiums range from the hundreds of dollars for a low-value aluminium runabout to thousands of dollars for a high-value, top-of-the-range cruiser or yacht.
To find out the cost to insure your boat, we invite you to get a quote now. Our boat insurance covers accidental loss or damage to your boat, liability to other people arising from the use of the boat, and certain types of significant injury to the person named on the policy. However, please note that there are limits and exclusions that apply. For more detailed information, we recommend reading our Product Disclosure Statement.
The cost and coverage of your boat insurance policy may vary depending on national and state laws, where you use your boat, where it's stored, whether it's under finance, and other considerations. With Club Marine boat insurance, you can have peace of mind while enjoying your boating adventures. Get a quote now to ensure you have the protection you need.
It's important to note that your home and contents insurance policy may only provide limited cover for your boat when it's stored at the home location. For example, Allianz's home contents insurance policy covers non-motorised watercraft less than 3m in length but not when being used. With Club Marine boat insurance, you can rest assured that your boat is covered both when it's stored and when you're out boating.
In the unfortunate event of a claim, Club Marine will pay the reasonable cost of replacing the item to the same condition as it was before the loss. If you have an older motor, your claim will cover the cost to replace it. However, if it is replaced with a brand new motor, you may be required to contribute the difference. We will always inform you of any contribution applicable before arranging the replacement, settlement, or repairs.
To help reduce your insurance premium, Club Marine offers the option to add lay-up months. For each month you nominate, your premium is reduced by 5%. Lay-up refers to the months when you're not using your boat, such as during winter, and it's stored in an enclosed garage, shed, or behind walls, gates, or fences. Even during lay-up, your boat is still covered for fire, theft, and storm damage at the storage location. Lay-up also provides coverage while your boat is being moved to/from a dealer or service center for servicing and maintenance.
When it comes to the value of your boat, we offer two options: Market Value and Agreed Value. With Market Value, the payout may be less than what is shown on the schedule as it depends on the actual value of the boat at the time of the loss. On the other hand, Agreed Value allows you to agree upon a specific payout amount with Club Marine, although you may need to provide evidence to support your proposal, such as a valuation or evidence of the purchase price.
At Club Marine, we strive to provide the best value for our customers. We offer various discounts that are applied to our standard rates, and promotional or other discounts may also be available from time to time. Please note that minimum premiums may apply, and any discounts or entitlements only apply to the extent that the minimum premium is not reached. If you are eligible for multiple discounts, they will be applied in a predetermined order to your premium.

Reviews
"They can't pay their bills to workshops correctly and also charge unreasonable contributions on repairs. Fwiw - tried to contact them after the reply. Still waiting on a return communication"
"How is this company allowed to operate. I was previously insured with club marine on my past 2 boats and never made a claim today I called to insure my new boat and was shocked at there clauses. I informed them that I want to know if my boat will be insured outside my property and was informed I had to protect it to the best of my ability so I told them I have security cameras a wheel lock and a hitch lock and I asked would this be enough. Reply, dunno can't see if you've got any fences so I said I hadn't and I will send photos to confirm boat will be insured, answer can't do that mate you have to protect it to the best of your ability. Also if you do make a claim we can choose to pay you less than you've insured the boat for So after this * decided to check reviews and sure enough a few of people have had boats and we're denied a payout. What's the point in paying for insurance if your not insured.I won't be returning to club marine any time soon"
"Avoid this company if you want to make a claim. Someone told me long time that do not go with Club Marine and now I know this was my biggest mistake ever. I’m with Club Marine for 3 years. It only good when they take your money. But when your claim don’t even think about it. They will find every single mistake not to pay out. I had my boat and trailer stolen it was park on front of my house with security cameras with motion sensor detect and have pad lock in my trailer. In there policy it doesn’t say you MUST TAKE reasonable precautions against theft when unattended. It only said on policy reasonable precautions against theft. I am new to boating and wasn’t think about theft. I was reasonable thinking parking in front of my house with padlocks on trailer and some bricks under trailer wheel and CCTV and motion detector notifications on my phone. Just because it windy storm on that day I couldn’t hear anything outside when the theft took the boat. They just doesn’t want to payout so no matter what reason they find a little mistake not to cover. Now I know why they cheap. Better of go RACV or other else. Now I will tell all my friends do not go with this insurance company. Would not recommend anyone at the end you will lose everything waste of time and money."
"Terrible insurance company. Insured my new boat in March with Club Marine. In October I changed employers- and therefore my email address and bank account details changed. Unknowingly, I missed 4 weeks of direct debits for the policy. No phone call to alert me, just an email (to my old, unused email address) advising my policy has been cancelled without and verbal notice or consultation. This issue and subsequent policy premium debt could easily have been resolved and paid up with a quick phone. Terribly unprofessional. Avoid Club Marine at all costs!"
"Could not extend my lay-up insurance on line. I could reduce it where l had to pay more premium but not the other way around. Extremely limited capability making it almost useless to most clients l suspect. Noting the response below from Club Marine, again demonstrates its uselessness to clients and all aspects are in their favour. If you read all the reviews here you will find the only positive reviews reflect the ease of buying a policy and CM taking the money. All the other reviews (negative) are about claims and customer service"
