What is water skiing?

Water skiing is a surface water sport where you’re pulled behind a boat or cable system across a lake, river, or sea while standing on skis. It’s a fun and accessible way for amateurs to enjoy the water, combining speed, balance, and the thrill of gliding across the surface.

Is travel insurance needed for recreational water skiing?

Yes. Even for beginners, water skiing carries risks such as slips, falls, and collisions. If you're heading abroad and plan to give it a go, travel insurance can help cover unexpected medical costs and trip disruptions, so you can focus on enjoying the ride.

What does amateur water skiing insurance include?

Our policies offer protection for medical emergencies, repatriation, and cancellations. You’ll also be covered for personal accidents and liability if something unexpected happens while you’re out on the water.

Does basic travel insurance cover water skiing?

Not always. Many off-the-shelf policies exclude activities that involve speed or towing. If you’re planning to try water skiing, make sure your insurance specifically includes it.

Can I still be covered if I have a medical condition?

Often, yes. When getting your quote, declare any conditions and we’ll let you know if anything extra is needed. In most cases, it’s quick and easy to arrange.

Is there an age limit for this cover?

Some policies offer cover up to age 70. If you’re generally healthy and active, there are still options available – just check the provider’s terms before you buy.
