Club Marine Launches New Feature Packed App
Club Marine is Australia’s market leader
in recreational boat insurance. We’re
proud of that position and right now,
we’re very excited about the launch of
our feature-rich Club Marine App. It’s
bound to be the go-to app for everyone
who loves boating ... because it’s a perfect example of why ‘boating’s just better
with Club Marine’.
“As a first for the marine industry and as
a unique service to our members, the
Club Marine App combines both fun and
function into one easy to use mobile
app,” said Club Marine CEO Simon McLean.
“Free access to severe weather alerts will
help protect our members on and off the
water, while features like the Trip Planner
and quick access to policy information
make it easier for members. It’s all part
of our commitment to supporting recreational boating and helping everyone
get the most out of their boating experience.”
This is no ordinary app – it’s packed
with features that no boatie should be
without.
Severe weather alerts notify boaties of
any impending weather events – on
and off the water. Notifications can be
received for the current location as well
as up to four additional locations, like
where the boat is moored – so if something is going to impact the boatie or
their property, the app will advise them.
With safety in mind, the Club Marine App
puts important safety information and
essential checklists on the user’s mobile
device. The features have been designed
for boaties of all levels of experience, enabling them to brush up on knowledge
of navigation marks, polish their skipper’s
briefing or just make sure they’ve done
everything to make their boat safe and
ready at the start or close of the season.
On a practical front, the Club Marine App
can display all of a member’s Club Marine insurance policy information, making
it easy to quickly provide Proof of Insurance, lodge a claim on the go, renew or
update their policy details, or even buy a
new policy. There’s also a handy function
that notifies the member when their
policy is due for renewal.
When it comes to preparing for the next
outing, all the latest weather conditions
including forecasts, tide times and wind
conditions are easily accessible within the
app. A trip planner will help boat lovers
plan and keep records of all their exciting adventures, including itineraries and
checklists, so they don’t forget a thing.
And should things go wrong as they
sometimes do, the Help Me function
enables members to contact Club Marine Assist, a 24/7 service that provides
advice, assistance, directions, information about marine service centres, a safe
place to berth or refuel, and much more.
Members can even call for emergency
assistance, record important information about an incident or lodge a claim
straight from the app.
The app even lets users store important
records, such as photos of the boat and
equipment, licences and permits, and
all essential information a boatie might
need on the go.
While non-members of Club Marine can
also access the app for free, they won’t
receive everything that is available to
members.
“We’re very pleased that Club Marine
members and non-members alike can
benefit from our free app.
“Of course, our members receive additional features as one of the many benefits of being a Club Marine member. It’s
just another reason to choose Australia’s
market leader in pleasurecraft insurance,”
said McLean.
Helping you get more out of boating on and off the water

marine lifestyle publication Club Marine
Magazine has contributed a wealth of
invaluable input.
