What is boat insurance?
Boat insurance offers comprehensive protection that helps ensure your boat, passengers, and personal belongings are covered in case of accidents, damage, or unforeseen events. From the hull to your gear, we’ll help you understand the full range of coverage options available to keep you and your boat safe on the water.
Boat insurance varies by watercraft type, with different policies for small boats, yachts (27+ feet), and specialized uses, like rentals, boat clubs, and professionals (pro anglers, fishing guides, charter captains). Larger boats often require more comprehensive coverage due to greater exposure and travel distances.
