Boat insurance coverage specifically designed for boats, yachts, personal watercraft (such as Jet Skis), and other types of watercraft. It provides financial protection against physical damage, theft, and liability for injuries or property damage caused by watercraft accidents.
The premium amount for boat and watercraft insurance depends on various factors, similar to other types of insurance. These factors include the type and size of the watercraft, its value, the intended use (e.g., personal pleasure, commercial), the location of use, your boating experience, and your claims history. Insurance companies assess risk factors associated with the policyholder and the watercraft to determine the premium.
Optional Coverages: Additional optional coverage may be available for boat and watercraft insurance. For example, you might have the option to add coverage for trailers, personal belongings on the watercraft, towing assistance, emergency assistance, and wreckage removal.
Navigation Areas: Boat and watercraft insurance policies may have restrictions on where you can operate your watercraft. The coverage may be limited to specific inland waters, coastal waters, or even extend to international waters. It’s important to review the navigation area limitations and ensure they align with your intended use of the watercraft.
