Why You Need Angling & Deep Sea Fishing Travel Insurance from Yellow Jersey
Whether you’re casting for carp in France, angling from a boat off the coast of Florida, or enjoying a quiet loch in Scotland, fishing holidays offer peace, excitement, and the occasional unexpected snag. At Yellow Jersey, we know how much effort and cost goes into planning the perfect fishing trip so it makes sense to protect it.
Many standard policies don’t include fishing activities, particularly if they involve deep sea charters, offshore excursions, or transporting valuable tackle. That’s why we offer fishing holiday travel insurance designed with anglers in mind.
From weekend getaways to big international expeditions, our fishing travel insurance covers the things that matter most: your safety, your gear, and your plans.
Ask yourself two questions about your current travel insurance –
Will your travel insurance cover your gear if it’s lost or damaged in transit?
Does it include emergency medical treatment if something goes wrong on the water?
Travel Insurance for Fishing Trips—Cover That Doesn’t Get Away
FISHING TRAVEL INSURANCE VS GENERIC TRAVEL INSURANCE
Standard travel insurance often overlooks the specifics of fishing holidays. That could mean no protection for your tackle, no cover for deep sea charters, and no support if your trip is cancelled due to illness or accident. Here’s how Yellow Jersey’s fishing travel insurance makes the difference: Activity Cover: Whether it’s fly fishing, carp fishing, or deep sea fishing—we include it in our cover. Just add your activities when taking out a policy, and we’ll apply the correct sports pack Medical Support: If you’re injured on the boat or during an excursion, we’ll cover emergency treatment and repatriation. Gear Protection: Rods, reels, tackle boxes, and clothing – your kit can make Scottish salmon licences look cheap! Add your sports equipment to protected it if it’s lost, stolen, or damaged. Trip Cancellation: Can’t travel due to illness or injury? We’ll help recover pre-paid costs, including charters or accommodation. Weather Disruption: If poor weather cancels your sea fishing trip, we will cover the non-refundable pre-paid costs. Personal Liability: If an accident causes injury or damages while fishing, we include personal liability cover. Whether you’re planning a solo sea fishing trip or a family carp fishing holiday, our cover keeps you protected from shore to ship.
Annual or Short Term
A Travel lots, pay less
Committing to an annual policy can often work out better value than buying cover for each trip, while still keeping you protected for every weekend adventure or week-long holiday abroad.
Plus, our policies can cover multiple sports, so you could be set for your summer mountaineering adventures and still have cover ready for your winter skiing trip; no last-minute insurance scramble required.
B No commitment
Not travelling all the time, or not ready to sign up for a full year? No worries. Our short-term, single-trip policies might cost a little more per trip, but they give you all the flexibility you need and the same handy suite of covers as our annual travellers.
Discounts
Heading off with your other half or the whole gang? We think that should be fun, not a headache for your wallet. That’s why couples get a break on the second traveller. One policy covers you both, and let’s be honest, one set of claims is usually enough drama for anyone.
Families get an even sweeter deal. Extra kids are added at a lower rate, so a family of four ends up paying just a little more than two adults. Single parents, don’t worry, the same clever scaling applies. Basically, we won’t charge you double just because there are more of you.
It all makes sense: more people on one policy doesn’t mean double the risk, and it certainly doesn’t mean double the paperwork. So grab your crew, pack your bags, and enjoy the trip. We’ve got the cover sorted at a fair price, no fuss, no nonsense.
