BOATOWNERS INSURANCE

 

One way to protect your boat and equipment is to make sure you carry boatowners insurance. A typical boat policy can provide protection for your boat, motor, engine, and equipment against damages incurred by weather, sinking, capsizing, explosion, fire and theft. It can also safeguard boat equipment, which may include items such as anchors, oars, fuel tanks, life jackets, dinghies, tools, etc. You also need to make sure you carry adequate liability limits and possible add-ons such as emergency services and wreck removal.

Boats can be insured one of two ways, they can be endorsed onto your homeowners policy or you can buy a separate policy. Here is a brief summary of what is covered under each policy:
