Common Boat Insurance Questions
Boats are motorized vehicles and waterways are similar to a public road. There are also speed limits, traffic lanes and laws that prohibit drinking while boating. Due to this, whenever you take your boat out on the water, you are up against the same hazards and liabilities as you do when driving a vehicle on the road. It is critical that you protect yourself and your property against the risk of expensive, unforeseen challenges that may arise while you are on the water. Boat insurance will aid in helping you get back on your feet from these challenges.
Boat insurance includes a variety of different type of coverage, such as:
-
Physical Damage: This covers the boat and its attached fittings and fixtures from fire, theft, vandalism, wind, hail and collision.
-
Medical Payments: This covers medical expenses for the policyholder and their passengers after an accident.
-
Liability Insurance: This covers bodily injury and property damage the boater may cause to someone else in an accident.
-
Guest Passenger Liability Insurance: This covers expenses if a permissible passenger causes an accident while operating the boat.
Your plan can also contain a host of other benefits like:
-
Pollution Liability Insurance
-
Tow Trailer Coverage
-
Agreed Value Insurance
-
Personal Effects Coverage
-
Fishing Equipment Coverage
When starting your policy, ask one of our agents to assist you in curating your coverage in order for you to get the most of it. Our mission is to minimize your financial losses from any boating accident. Therefore, consider each of these questions:
-
How much would it cost to buy a new boat if mine is totaled?
-
What activities will I be doing on my boat?
-
Will I need to insure people on the boat if they get injured in an accident?
Your boat insurance policy can offer you the right amount of benefits to assist you in answering those questions. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your agent to help you better understand your policy options and determine which benefits are best for your needs.
Boat Insurance is typically not required if you are not operating commercially. However, if you decide to finance your boat when you purchase it, your lender may ask you purchase a minimal amount of coverage for physical damage.
Boat insurance rates may vary based on several factors, such as your:
-
Credit score
-
Claims/accident history
-
Value of the boat
-
Location
