Boat & Yacht Insurance
What Is Boat & Yacht Insurance?
Boat & Yacht insurance covers you in the event of loss or damage to your boat. It covers most watercraft with motors, including fishing boats, pontoon boats, PWC’s, paddle boats, leisure crafts and yachts.
What Does Boat Insurance Cover?
Your boat insurance policy may include the following:
- Collision damage: Includes repair or replacement of your boat, and wreckage removal should it be needed.
- Property damage liability: Covers damage you might cause to someone else’s boat, a dock, or other property or structures.
- Bodily injury liability: Covers injury you may cause to someone while operating your vessel.
- Comprehensive: Provides compensation if your boat is vandalized, stolen, or damaged in an incident other than a collision.
- Additional coverage options: Coverage for medical payments, fishing equipment, oil spills, personal property and roadside assistance, as well as damages and injuries from accidents caused by boaters who are uninsured or underinsured.
