Boat insurance for time on the water

From a bass boat on a local pond to a cruiser on the ocean, we compare marine carriers to cover your boat, your motor, and your liability.

What a boat policy can include

  • Hull & physical damage

    Repairs or replaces your boat after a collision, storm, fire, or theft.

  • Liability

    Protects you if you injure someone or damage another boat or dock.

  • Motor, trailer & equipment

    Covers your engine, trailer, and gear like electronics and fishing equipment.

  • On-water towing

    Helps pay to get you back to shore if you break down.

  • Uninsured boaters

    Covers your injuries if you're hit by a boater without insurance.

Coverage varies by carrier and policy. We'll walk you through exactly what yours includes.

Tell us how you use it

Where you keep the boat, where you take it, and when it comes out of the water all affect your coverage and price. We compare marine carriers that specialize in boats, not just add-ons to a home policy.

Boat insurance questions

Does my home policy cover my boat?

Usually only small boats, and with very low limits. Most boats need their own policy.

Should I choose agreed value or actual cash value?

Agreed value pays a set amount for a total loss and avoids depreciation. Actual cash value costs less but pays less. We'll show you both.

Do you insure jet skis and personal watercraft?

Yes. We can quote personal watercraft along with your boat.
