FAQs For SkiSafe Boat Insurance Policies 

How do you calculate the cost of my policy?

Prices for SkiSafe policies vary depending on  a number of different factors relating to the boat and the policyholder - including craft value, age and location, as well as your insurance history, previous claims, experience, and more. 

Here are other common considerations that could affect your policy price: 

• Increased coverage = higher premiums
• Higher deductibles = lower premiums
• Previous claims will increase the policy premium, and in some cases even make coverage unavailable
• Boats in low-risk areas cost less to insure
• A clean driving record will get you a discount 
• Taking a boat safety course will get you a discount

Can I lower my policy price? 

Your policy price (otherwise known as the premium) is heavily affected by the policy’s coverage limits. A higher deductible (the amount deducted from a covered claim payment) may lower your premium amount. 

When purchasing a policy, it’s important to consider how much you’re willing to pay out-of-pocket for a claim versus how much you’re willing to pay toward the premium every year.

This is where you will evaluate your own risk. The higher amount you are willing to cover via the deductible will translate to a lower policy price and vice versa.

In addition, your rate may be reduced if you qualify for a discount. For example, if you boat in an area that is less susceptible to weather-related damages. 

Here is a list of some popular SkiSafe discounts:

• Take a qualified boating safety course
• You have a clean driving record
• You only navigate in protected waters
• You insure multiple crafts with us 
• Winter layup
• Sufficient boating experience  

If I have bad credit, will my premium be affected?

No. We will never check your credit score or pull a credit report. 

Other insurance companies may penalize people with poor credit and increase their premiums. At SkiSafe, our rates do not take this data point into account.
