Hull Protection
Watercraft hull and equipment coverage helps pay for repairs or replacement of your boat if it is damaged or stolen. For many boats, our carriers will reduce your deductible by 25% for each consecutive year that you are loss free.
EXAMPLE
After a storm damages your boat while docked, your hull protection coverage can help pay for the repairs, getting your boat back on the water quickly.

Replacement Cost Coverage
Available on boats up to three years of age. The insurance company will pay for a new boat of the same make, class, size, and type in the event of a total loss, including theft.

EXAMPLE
If your boat is stolen or totaled, replacement cost coverage ensures you receive a new boat of the same make and model, so you can get back on the water quickly.

Towing Coverage
With some policies boat towing coverage is included. This coverage will reimburse the reasonable cost (up to the limit purchased).



EXAMPLE
If your boat breaks down on the water, towing coverage can reimburse you for the costs of getting your boat safely back to shore, so you’re never stranded.

Liability
Covers costs associated with damage or injury to others if you are at fault in a boating accident, including legal expenses.
EXAMPLE
If you accidentally collide with another boat while cruising, liability coverage can handle the repair costs for the damaged boat and medical bills for any injured parties.

Equipment Coverage
Provides financial protection for boat accessories and equipment such as electronics, fishing gear, and safety items in the event of theft or damage.

EXAMPLE
Should your onboard navigation system and fishing gear be stolen while your boat is docked, equipment coverage can help cover the cost of replacing these essential items.
