Coverage Tips

No doubt you, like most other boat owners, feel your insurance coverage and the resulting premium is a necessary evil that you can do little to control. While there is some measure of truth in this belief, the fact is you can exercise some control over this cost.

Complete an authorized boating course.
Inspect or have your boat inspected by a qualified marine mechanic at least twice a year.
Repair or replace defective equipment promptly.
Have a well thought out, written plan to carry out in the event of a pending natural disaster.
Always store your boat in a secure area.
Carry up-to-date marine charts and plan your cruising routes to avoid accidental grounding and adverse weather conditions.

By following these suggestions

You will play your part in reducing losses.
Your marine insurance specialist can negotiate lower premiums based on lower loss ratios.
You avoid payment of insurance deductibles and depreciation allowances incurred by losses.
You guarantee your boat will be ready to go when you are.

NBOA Insurance

Why should I get boat insurance? Won't my home owners policy cover me?

Home owners' policies generally only cover small boats and do not provide very much coverage. Usually the coverage amount is only about $1000 in damages. That amount is for the boat, the engine or outboards, the trailer, and accessories. On a normal boat $1000 doesn't go very far!

Additionally, coverage for theft may not even be that high. Many policies also require that the boat be located on the property where you actively live...not at one of your vacation spots! Almost all policies will even limit where you can use your boat and be covered.
