How to Save Money on Boat Insurance:

Winter Layup

Take advantage of the winter season and save on your coverage! Ask if your insurance company offers discounts for storing your boat during winter season. Coverage is still provided while the boat is in storage and while you are trailering it. As long as your boat is laid up and out of commission, significant discounts are available. What happens if you get a warm weekend and want to hit the water? Just call your insurance agency and see if they can endorse your policy and offer you temporary coverage.

Navigable Waters Discount

If you navigate your boat in a limited territory, such as inland lakes and waterways, or the confines of the Chesapeake Bay or the Long Island Sound, let your underwriter know. You could save a bundle without giving anything up.

Insure at Market Values

Buy what you need. Don’t over-insure the value of your boat and pay for extra coverage. A good marine insurance company should tell you if you’re aiming too high because they don’t want to charge you any more than they must.

Multi-Craft Discount 

If you have more than one vessel, get a quote for both with the same carrier. We can help you save more in that case!

Online Discounts

Most companies and brokers will offer you a discount for initially contacting them online. You won’t lose out on any service or coverage and can always follow up on the phone.

In Conclusion

Sound too simple? That’s probably because it is. There’s no magic behind it, but you do need to find a company that specializes in boat insurance and knows where it can help boaters save. Let us know if you have any other tips for saving on your boat insurance.
