Introduction

What Affects Your Insurance Cost?
Several factors influence your boat insurance premiums:
- Type of Boat – Performance boats typically have higher premiums.
- Location of the boat.
- Boat’s Length, Age, and Value.
- Boat Ownership Experience and Operator’s Age.
- Type of Engine and Usage of the Boat.
- Boating Education and Safety Equipment.
Types of Coverage
Physical Damage Coverage
Covers your boat’s physical damage on either:
- Actual Cash Value (ACV): Pays replacement cost minus depreciation at the time of loss. Partial losses also consider depreciation.
- Agreed Amount Value: You and the insurer agree on your boat’s value, paying that amount in total loss. No depreciation is deducted for partial losses (subject to policy terms).
Deductibles: Deductibles typically depend on your vessel’s value (e.g., 1%, 2%, 3%, or flat amounts like $250 or $500).
Liability Coverage
Protects you if you’re legally responsible for property damage or injuries caused by your boat. Coverage ranges from $100,000 to $1 million.
Medical Payments
Covers reasonable medical, ambulance, and hospital costs for injuries onboard or around your boat.
Uninsured Boat Owners Coverage
Protects you in case of injuries caused by an uninsured or “hit-and-run” boat.
Towing and Assistance
Reimburses you for reasonable towing costs if your boat breaks down at sea.
