Water Sports Travel Insurance

Water sports travel insurance is travel insurance designed for people taking part in activities on the water while travelling. This can include sports such as surfing, windsurfing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, rafting, kitesurfing and rowing. Policies typically include emergency medical cover, trip disruption protection and cover for sports equipment while you travel.

Yellow Jersey Sports Travel Insurance covers a wide range of water sports and paddle sports. Examples include:

• Surfing
• Windsurfing
• Kitesurfing and wing foiling
• Stand up paddle boarding
• Kayaking and canoeing
• White water rafting
• Wakeboarding and water skiing

Your selected activities are clearly listed in your policy documents, so you know exactly what is covered.

If you are travelling specifically to take part in sports such as surfing, kayaking or windsurfing, a specialist sports travel insurance policy helps ensure those activities are included and clearly named on your policy.
