What it means and why it matters
- Transport for repair at a Hinckley repair facility.
- In the event of a covered loss, we will pay for transport so your boat can be repaired at a Hinckley repair facility, provided the repairs exceed $20,000 and involve any of the following:
- Structural damage to the hull
- Interior joiner work
- Engine work
- You can be assured that your cherished Hinckley will be repaired according to the excellent standards and quality that is commensurate with Hinckley.
- In the event of a covered loss, we will pay for transport so your boat can be repaired at a Hinckley repair facility, provided the repairs exceed $20,000 and involve any of the following:
- Topsides and striping.
- We will refinish the entire topsides and striping of the hull in the event of a covered loss that required refinishing the hull.
- Many carriers only pay for damaged areas that result in aesthetic inconsistencies.
- Temporary substitute yacht
- In the event that you need to charter a yacht while yours is being repaired, you have $1,500 per day to do so (maximum of seven days or $10,500).
- At the time of loss, potentially in the middle of the season, you do not want to be left without a yacht or tender.
- Permissive use
