What is flyboarding?
Flyboarding involves standing on a board connected by a hose to a personal watercraft. Pressurised water is directed through jets beneath the board, lifting the rider above the surface. It looks slightly like flying, though the inevitable splashdown rather gives the game away.
Can I get travel insurance for flyboarding?
Yes, cover for amateur flyboarding can be available through the policies offered by Direct Travel.
Select flyboarding when getting your quote and check that it appears on your Policy Certificate or policy documents. Make sure the selected cover matches the session planned, particularly if it involves tricks, competitions or operating the personal watercraft yourself.
Things to remember:
- Choose flyboarding when getting your quote
- Check that it appears on your policy documents
- Use an established operator and follow the instructor’s guidance
- Use the safety equipment provided for the session
What can travel insurance help with?
If you’re injured while taking part in insured flyboarding, emergency medical expenses and repatriation can be covered, subject to the terms and limits of your policy.
Depending on the policy selected, cover may also be available for cancellation, curtailment and other travel-related problems. Personal Liability is not covered while using a motorised vehicle, including the personal watercraft that powers the flyboard. Travel insurance does not cover damage to or recovery of the watercraft or flyboarding equipment. Check the applicable Policy Wording.
