Turkey Tourist Boat Rescue Sparks Insurance Warning for Your Next Trip
A harrowing rescue of dozens of tourists off the coast of Turkey has gone viral, and it’s a wake-up call for anyone booking a holiday abroad. If you think your travel insurance covers every mishap at sea, think again—many policies have fine-print exclusions for "boat excursions" or require you to book through vetted operators. This incident, where passengers were plucked from a sinking vessel, highlights that your wallet could be on the hook for costly medical evacuations or emergency flights, which can run into the tens of thousands. Before you pack for that beach getaway, double-check your coverage, or you might be left paying for a rescue that isn’t as free as it looks on the news.
