Most travel insurance policies will come with cover for certain water sports as standard. Here’s a few water sports you might find on your policy: Jet skiing Snorkelling Banana boating Scuba diving Sailing a yacht or catamaran Parasailing Free diving Canyoning or coasteering Surfing Deep sea fishing Some more extreme activities, like white water rafting might be offered as an optional add-on. If you’re deep diving or cage diving with sharks, you might need a specialist water sports policy. Sometimes you can buy cover as part of the experience on the day but read the terms and conditions carefully. If you sign a waiver, make sure that you’re still protected incase something goes wrong. Surprisingly, sports like sea kayaking and stand up paddle boarding aren’t usually included in your policy. Check the details to see exactly which water sports are covered. If they're excluded, you might be able to add them for a fee.
