Boat Insurance

Owning a boat brings a lot of enjoyment — and a distinct set of risks. Boat insurance covers physical damage to your vessel, liability for accidents on the water, and protection for the equipment and belongings you bring along. Whether you have a fishing boat, pontoon, ski boat, or offshore cruiser, a dedicated marine policy keeps you protected on the water and at the dock.

What Boat Insurance Can Help With

Coverage options vary by carrier and situation. A licensed agent can explain what applies to your specific needs.

Physical damage to the hull, motor, and boat equipment

Liability coverage if you cause injury or property damage to others on the water

Medical payments for you and your passengers after a boating accident

Uninsured boater coverage when the other party is at fault but uninsured

Theft, vandalism, and storm damage to the vessel

Personal property and fishing equipment coverage

Towing and assistance if you're stranded on the water

Have more questions? A licensed agent is ready to help.

Homeowners policies may provide very limited coverage for small boats, but typically not for larger vessels or liability on the water. A dedicated boat policy is recommended for anything beyond a very small watercraft.
