Whatever You Cruise, We’ve Got You Covered

Boat Insurance

What Does Personal Boat Insurance Cover?

Coverage can vary depending on your boat and how you use it, but most personal boat insurance policies include:

• Physical Damage Coverage
• Helps repair or replace your boat if it's damaged in an accident, storm, fire, or theft. This usually covers the boat itself, plus the motor, trailer, and permanently attached equipment.
• Liability Coverage
• If you're found responsible for injuring someone or damaging another boat or property, liability coverage helps with legal fees, settlements, and medical bills.
• Medical Payments
• Covers minor medical expenses for you and your passengers if someone gets hurt while on your boat—regardless of who's at fault.
• Uninsured Boater Coverage
• If another boater hits you and doesn't have insurance, this helps cover your expenses.
• Towing and Assistance
• Covers towing, fuel delivery, or emergency service if you're stranded on the water.

What if I Have a Charter Boat?

If you run fishing trips, sightseeing cruises, or private charters, your boat is more than just a boat—it's your business. Charter boat insurance is built specifically for operators like you, offering protection for your vessel, your passengers, your crew, and your income. It covers things like liability, hull damage, passenger injuries, and even lost income if a storm sidelines your boat. If you're running trips on the Gulf Coast or beyond, this coverage helps keep your business steady—even when the water gets rough.

Do I Need Boat Insurance if I Only Use It Occasionally?

Yes! Even if you only use your boat a few times a year, all kinds of things can still go wrong. Boats can be damaged while in storage, on the trailer, or at the dock. Plus, some marinas and lenders require insurance before letting you store or finance your boat.

Even if you only take your boat out a few weekends a year, that doesn't mean you're risk-free. Most claims actually happen when boats aren't even in use. Think about it—storms can damage boats parked in your driveway, theft can happen at a storage facility, and trailers can be involved in accidents on the road long before you ever reach the water. A surprise fire in your garage? Coverage helps. A tree falling during a storm? Covered. Even vandalism or animal damage—yep, that too.

And here's another thing to keep in mind: if you're involved in an accident on the water and someone gets hurt or property is damaged, you could be held personally liable—even if the boat hasn't seen much action all season. Having insurance in place year-round helps protect you from unexpected legal or financial headaches that could hit long after boating season ends.

So even if you only take your boat out "every now and then," boat insurance works 24/7 to protect your investment, your finances, and your peace of mind. It's one of those things that's better to have and not need, than the other way around.
