Cover for Activities

Please find below a list of activities with details of whether we cover each as standard under the policy, or upon purchase of our optional Winter Sports extension. We have also detailed whether we provide Personal Accident* and Personal Liability** cover in relation to each activity. 

Please note, where we’ve stated the activity will only be covered ‘inshore only’, this means the activity must take place in inland waters or within 12 nautical miles of the coastline.

Eligibility

We are unable to provide cover for anyone participating in any sport or activity if you are participating in or training:

  • For a competition or a tournament.
  • On a professional or semi-professional basis
  • Water based activities outside 12 nautical miles from the coastline
  • For any sport or activity listed as not covered
