Rated 4.8 / 5 stars

Sailing, yachting or motor cruising outside territorial limits on a vessel over 45ft covered when Adventure Activities Trip Extra added at an additional cost to the base policy. No cover applies in international waters in a private or privately registered vessel.

What freely covers for sailing

From a day on a dinghy to crewing a tall ship, sailing takes plenty of forms — and both where you sail and the type of vessel can affect your cover. Sailing within territorial waters is included as standard in all Freely plans. Outside territorial limits, sailing, yachting or motor cruising can only be covered on a vessel over 45ft, by adding our Adventure Activities Trip Extra at an additional cost.

Overseas medical and dental expenses

If you get sick or injure yourself overseas, you may be able to claim unlimited medical expenses incurred overseas. Cover will not exceed 12 months from onset of illness or condition.

Emergency evacuation and repatriation

If necessary, we'll help with emergency evacuation or repatriation to bring you home. Only applies to our overseas plans.

24/7 emergency assistance and safety alerts

With Freely, you'll get 24/7 access to medical and emergency specialists, telehealth and geo-specific safety alerts designed to keep you safe.

Remember:

Find the right cover for your trip

All our overseas plans include medical expenses cover, your choice for trip cancellation cover and varying luggage cover limits as standard. Add the Adventure Activities Trip Extra for sailing outside territorial limits.
