Canoeing Insurance

Specialist canoeing insurance for individuals and instructors

Taking on a raging river in a canoe is an exhilarating test of strength, coordination and concentration. When you’re canoeing, there’s always a degree of risk, including injuring yourself or damaging your equipment. Plus, canoeing instructors could face the risk of legal claims if someone gets hurt during a canoeing lesson or coaching session.  

If you’re preparing to take on a powerful river or instructing a lesson, canoeing insurance through Insure4Sport is designed to give you peace of mind when you go on the water.
