  • Residential use

    Tell the insurer or broker if the boat is your home. Ask about contents, heating, security and periods away from the boat. General information here cannot confirm that a policy covers you.

  • Continuous cruising

    CRT continuous cruising is a licence pattern. Read the official page rather than this desk. Canal & River Trust · Continuous cruising · accessed 18 September 2026.

  • Residential use and cruising pattern

    A boat can be a home whether it has a home mooring or cruises continuously. Prepare both facts for the specialist, along with the waters used and periods when the boat is left unoccupied.

  • Check eligibility directly

    Read the provider's current residential and continuous-cruising information, then ask it to confirm your circumstances. Inland Boat does not collect an enquiry or decide acceptance.
