A boat can be a large investment and many factors play into insuring a boat. It is important to evaluate your needs while choosing the proper policy. This process can be more complex than insuring your auto or your home.
Boat policies take into account marine-specific risks where auto and home policies do not, such as on water towing, removal of wreckage from the water, any fuel spillage and loss of fishing gear. It is important to discuss your options with a knowledgeable insurance agent to customize what coverage is beneficial to your particular needs.
Steer away from insurance companies recommending boat coverage add-ons to your existing auto or homeowners policy. The premium will obviously look impressive but be aware of the fine print. A policy designed specifically for your boat is much more beneficial.
Inquire with your agent regarding "All Risk" policies. They are recommended for providing coverage for all types of losses. All policies include exclusions such as wear, tear, defects in design, ice, freezing and gradual deterioration.
