Apologies if this has been done to death, but just wanted to scope out opinion on the best travel insurance company for the following;
Annual cover
Multi-trip
Must cover ALL of the below;
Skiing (On and off piste)
Waterskiing and wakeboarding
Snorkelling (Yes, seriously! Have seen some which exclude any activity where you get your head wet!)
Sailing (Dinghy only)
Canoeing (No crazy white water action, though!)
Windsurfing
Tennis
Cycling (Obviously! Both on and off road, but no need for competition cover. I'm a bit too rubbish for that!)

Price is a smaller consideration than quality of coverage/service.

Thanks!

When Ive needed the cover for peace of mind, Dog Tag have been easy to understand in terms of what's covered and whats not. And they cover everything up to Naked Piranha Teasing.

Have never needed to claim though.

The proof of the pudding is in the claiming. I'm not sure if Snowcard cover your selection of water sports, but when my FIL died on a spanish mountain 10 years ago, their service was exceptional.

Second Stoner's suggestion. Dog Tag, for plain English policies and that cool little wallet they send you 🙂
