Your Boat Insurance Agency
Owning a boat is a wonderful luxury item and means plenty of fun in the sun and beautiful outdoor scenery. Unfortunately, unplanned accidents can happen and you will want to protect your watercraft with boat insurance. There are many catastrophes that can occur to your boat such as theft, sinking, storm damage, emergency towing, and collision with another boat or a submerged object.
Boat insurance is meant to cover your boat, passengers, and spectators involved in the event of an accident. Depending on the type of boat or PWC you own, the type of coverage you may need will differ.
Coverage Types
All boat policies have four typical coverages:
- Property coverage: Which covers physical damages to your boat, motor, trailer, and water sports equipment.
- Personal liability: In the event you cause bodily harm or damage to someones else’s property this coverage will help cover it.
- Medical payments coverage: Will pay for any incurred medical expenses if an accident were to cause bodily harm to the inhabitants of your boat or anyone else involved in the incident.
- Uninsured boaters coverage: Will help cover your health expenses if you happen to be involved in an accident with an uninsured boater.
