Who is your carrier?

Boat insurance is sometimes referred to as marine insurance. It provides coverage for boat owners optionally for damage to their boat, damage to other boats, marine structures or property, and injury related damages. Cargo insurance also is a type of marine insurance that may be desired by shipping businesses. This directory is directed to boat insurance for private watercraft as opposed to commercial vessels.

Many homeowners insurance policies provide coverage for relatively small boats, like rowboats, small sail boats or small motor boats, along with trailers. Before purchasing boat insurance it is a good idea to check your homeowners insurance or discuss with a boat insurance broker whether an additional boat policy is required. Coverage typically is limited, so that is another consideration in whether an additional boat insurance policy is warranted. Also the coverage typically is for property damage, and liability coverage is not included automatically absent a rider. This is another issue to check and discuss with an insurance agent.

For mid to large size boats or personal watercraft like “Wave Runners” or “Jet Ski” brand watercraft, a specialized boat insurance policy typically is needed. Large boats can include yachts, even small yachts, and faster motorized boats.

The Boat insurance coverage options include: property damage to the vessel, bodily injury, property damage, theft, medical expense coverage, and guest tort liability. The coverage in a specialized boat insurance policy can be broader than a homeowners insurance rider. A deductible can reduce boat insurance premiums while increasing the policy holder’s expenses in case of incident.
