At World First we love the water. Our water sports travel insurance policies cover a wide range of water sports and activities as standard, including banana boating, snorkelling and rowing. We also offer scuba diving travel insurance to 30 metres, as well as cover for Jet Skiing (no Personal Liability cover) and River Punting.
Since many of our travel insurance policies include lots of water sports as standard, it means you can choose from 6 different levels of cover that we offer, with up to £10 million emergency medical cover. All levels of cover come with 24/7 emergency assistance, personal liability, luggage, cash and documents cover too.
If you opt for one of our Longstay policies we'll still be able to cover you for lots of sports and activities for periods of up to 18 months away from home. But if you need cover for surgical strikes when the waves are good, then an annual multi trip policy lets you travel as often as you like. We also offer medical travel insurance with cover for 1000s of medical conditions - so don't let your health issues stop you from hitting the water. We certainly won't.
"Having used World First over several years find the questions they ask regarding your health and holiday insurance are very clear and the policy you receive very easy to read and understand."
James, Confirmed Purchaser (April 2019)
We offer a 14 day money back guarantee on all policies and can cover 1000s of medical conditions. We also offer a choice of policies to suit you and the way you travel – and it's very easy to buy a World First water sports travel insurance policy online or by phone. Either way, you can be covered in minutes, even if you have a medical condition.
