There are many different kinds of watercraft insurance we Specialize in Here are some of them.

- Fishing Boasts
- House Boats
- Boat Trailers
Your boat insurance policy may include the following:
- Collision damage: Includes repair or replacement of your boat, but may or may not include clean-up of wreckage unless you purchase optional additional coverage.
- Property damage liability: Covers damage you might cause to someone else’s boat, a dock, or other property or structures.
- Bodily injury liability: Covers injury you might cause someone while using your boat; includes medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and legal expenses.
- Comprehensive: Provides compensation if your boat is vandalized, stolen, or damaged in an incident other than a collision.
- Additional coverage options: Coverage for medical payments, fishing equipment, oil spills, personal property and roadside assistance as well as damage and injuries from accidents caused by boaters who are uninsured or underinsured.
- Medical payments coverage
Suppose you or your passengers are injured after an accident on your boat. Medical payments coverage may help pay for resulting expenses such as hospital bills, medications or X-rays. - Uninsured watercraft coverage
What would happen if an uninsured boater collides with your watercraft and you or one of your passengers are injured? The uninsured watercraft coverage on your boat insurance policy may help pay for the resulting expenses.
Before you get wet, the best thing to do is check what is required by your state. Some marinas require you have liability coverage if docking your boat. If you have a loan on the boat, the lender might also dictate that you have liability and comprehensive coverage. This would protect their financial investment in the boat until you have paid for it in full.
