What Is Watercraft and Boat Insurance?
Watercraft and boat insurance is a policy designed to cover the risks that come with owning and operating a vessel. Some boat owners rely on their homeowners insurance to provide coverage after an incident, but a home policy may offer only limited coverage for small watercraft while stored at home. A dedicated boat policy offers broader coverage tailored to how you use your boat, where you take it and what it means to you.
What Is Typically Covered in a Standard Policy?
Coverage varies by carrier and policy, but a standard watercraft policy often includes:
- Physical damage coverage—May help cover damage to your boat, motor and trailer
- Liability coverage—May help cover costs if you cause injury or property damage to others
- Uninsured boater coverage—May help cover losses if you’re involved in an accident caused by an uninsured operator
- Fuel spill liability and wreck removal—May help cover costs associated with a fuel spill or removing a wrecked vessel
Optional add-ons may include roadside assistance for your trailer, fishing equipment coverage and agreed value protection.
How Much Does It Cost?
The cost of watercraft insurance depends on the type, size and age of your vessel, how and where you use it, and the coverage limits you choose. Rates vary, and our team can help you review your options and find a policy that fits your situation.
