What better time and place than Spring and Summer in Central Florida to take your boat out on the beautiful waters? While not as popular or heard of as insurances such as auto or life, boat insurance is still a great thing to have if you own a boat and plan to take it out on the waters. Because it is not as talked about, you may have some questions regarding this type of insurance. We’re here to break it down for you and tell you all about it!
The main idea behind boat insurance is the same concept of car insurance…you want protection in the event that your boat is totaled. Boat insurance varies based on how much your boat is worth as well as how much you use it and how far you plan on driving it. We would be happy to help you customize your policy to fit the needs of your circumstances and your boat.
Although the main purpose of boat insurance is to protect the boat itself, there are other aspects of coverage as well. You can get coverage for fishing equipment, roadside assistance, fuel spill costs, wreckage removal, and much more.
A further breakdown of boat insurance is explained below:
- Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability: This pays for damage to someone’s property or a person’s injuries, up to your coverage limit.
- Uninsured or Underinsured Boater Coverage: This covers you if you’re involved in a collision with another boater who doesn’t have insurance or adequate coverage.
- Medical Payment Coverage: If you or someone in your watercraft need medical care due to a boating accident, no matter who’s at fault, this coverage pays for it.
- Comprehensive and Collision Coverage: Comprehensive coverage pays for damage to your watercraft, regardless of who is at fault, if you’re in an accident or from an event like theft, fire, or vandalism.
- Personal Effects Coverage: Say you’re riding a jet ski and a necklace or bracelet comes loose and is lost in the water. This coverage reimburses you for the value of the lost property.
