How Does Boat Insurance Work? 

Boat insurance operates much like other types of insurance, offering financial protection in the event of damage, theft or liability claims related to your watercraft. When you purchase boat insurance, you receive a policy outlining coverage, including deductibles and limits. If an incident covered by your policy occurs, such as an accident or theft, you can file a claim with your insurance provider. 

What Are the Different Types of Boat Insurance Coverage? 

Boat insurance policies have various coverage options tailored to the unique risks of operating and owning a watercraft. The following are typical boat insurance coverages: 

• Physical damage coverage—This type of coverage may help repair or replace your boat if it suffers damage due to a covered incident, including an accident, storm, fire, theft or vandalism, depending on your policy.
• Liability coverage—This coverage may help provide financial protection in case of third-party property damage or injury claims resulting from accidents up to the policy’s limits.
• Wreckage removal—If your boat sinks or sustains severe damage, wreckage removal coverage may help cover the costs associated with salvaging, removing or disposing of the wreckage.
• Uninsured/underinsured watercraft coverage—This policy may help cover another boater’s liability if you’re involved in an accident, and they are uninsured or have insufficient coverage to compensate for damages.
• Towing and assistance—This coverage may reimburse you for emergency towing and service expenses if your boat becomes disabled while on the water. 

Your agent may also recommend additional policies and endorsements to cover personal effects, towing trailers and sporting equipment. 

What Boat Insurance Coverage Do I Need? 

The coverage you need depends on factors such as your watercraft’s type, value, any requirements from your lienholder, the way you use your boat and local regulations. Your insurance agent can assist you in determining the appropriate coverages and limits for your situation.
