RCR Membership covers breakdowns not routine maintenance

This membership provides emergency assistance when a vessel suffers a sudden or unexpected mechanical or electrical engine fault that prevents it from being cruised or continuing a journey safely.

We do not cover cosmetic, non-emergency or self-induced faults, plumbing, domestic electrics or where we suspect third-party interference has taken place. Please do not use the membership as a replacement for routine servicing, maintenance or repairs, or to cover faults caused by the actions or omissions of the owner.

If you use this policy for a boat engine that’s not been serviced or properly maintained, we may not be able to help. We may also have to charge a service fee.
