Types of Coverage

Agreed Value Coverage

Watercrafts depreciate just like automobiles. Actual cash value policies can make it difficult to replace a boat that’s been stolen or destroyed. With agreed value coverage, if your boat is a total loss, you will get the value you insured it for minus any deductible.

Liability

Like car insurance, personal liability coverage provides coverage to other boaters and boat owners in the event you are at-fault for an accident on the water. This coverage will pay to repair or replace the property of someone else as well as for their medical care, lost wages, and other costs incurred as a result of a boating accident for which you are at fault.

Medical Payments

Medical payments coverage will pay for the cost of needed care that is the result of a boating accident. This coverage is available from $1,000 to $10,000 and covers you, your passengers, and even your water skiers / tubers, regardless of who is at fault.

Physical Damage Coverage

Physical damage coverage pays for the cost to repair or replace your watercraft, its motor, any permanently attached equipment, and your trailer if it is stolen or damaged.

Uninsured / Underinsured Watercraft Bodily Injury

Since boat coverage is not always mandatory, many boaters choose not to get insurance. If you are hit by an uninsured or underinsured boater, and you are injured, this type of coverage pays for medical treatment, lost wages, and other costs associated with the accident.

Fuel Spill Liability and Wreckage Removal

Should your boat sink or be seriously damaged, there is a chance that it could leak oil or fuel into the water. As the boat’s owner, you are required by law to have this cleaned up, which can be time consuming and expensive.

Personal Effects

Your policy can provide coverage for many personal effects, including clothing, cell phones, scuba / snorkeling and other sporting equipment, and fishing equipment. Limits vary by state - check with us for information. Personal effects coverage does not include jewelry, watches, or furs.

Unattached Equipment Coverage

This pays to repair or replace equipment that isn’t permanently attached to your boat or personal watercraft but is designed for use primarily on a boat. This includes items like lifesaving equipment, water skis, anchors, oars, fire extinguishers, tarps, etc.

Emergency Assistance

The Emergency Assistance Package provides coverage for towing, labor and delivery of gas, oil, or loaned battery if the watercraft is disabled while on the water.
