Nothing is more relaxing and invigorating than getting out on the waterways, but boating comes with risks. Every boat owner has already made a significant investment, whether in a speed boat, yacht, sailboat, or other watercraft. These assets need to be protected against the risk of financial loss.
Types of Boat & Marine Insurance
Various insurance providers offer different types of boat insurance. For the most complete protection, Agreed Hull Value insurance pays out the highest dollar amount after a loss. This is typically a set amount chosen strategically by the insured. Agreed Hull Value is the maximum the policy will pay up to for a total loss.
Actual Cash Value boat insurance covers the current market value of your boat or other watercraft, which takes into account prior damages, age, current condition, etc. Liability insurance is the lowest cost option and provides more limited coverage, but once again, these policies are each unique in what is provided to the owner. Many add-on coverages are available to cover your personal assets, such as emergency towing/service, expensive fishing gear, or other personally-owned items.
