Can the purchaser take over the policies?
The policies cannot be transferred directly.

For hull insurance, the purchase price specified in the purchase agreement applies, however up to a maximum of the previous sum insured (agreed fixed value). The purchaser will also receive an insurance recommendation, so they can take out new policies.

Can I lend my boat to friends?
