Boat Insurance

Boat and yacht insurance — sometimes referred to as marine insurance — is designed to protect you and everyone who shares the water from the potentially high cost of accident-related and other damages or injuries. It is a contract between you and your insurance company in which you pay a certain amount — or “premium” — to the insurance company in exchange for a set of available coverages you select. If you finance or lease your vessel, your lender may require specific insurance coverages and limits.

Carrying boat or yacht insurance is a smart decision. Contrary to popular belief, your vessel is not covered under your car or homeowners policy. If you cause an accident or get into one with an uninsured or underinsured operator, you may be held responsible to cover related expenses, such as repairs, property damage, medical bills, lost wages, legal fees and more. Without the proper coverage, your financial well-being may be at risk.

Working with an insurance representative to create a marine insurance policy that fits your individual needs and budget can help protect you, your loved ones and your assets in the event there is a boating accident.
