Understanding the Basics of Boat and PWC Insurance
Let’s start with the basics of any standard policy: physical damage and liability.
Physical Damage Coverage: This part of your policy protects against accidental loss or damage to the boat’s structure and its machinery. And it’s not just limited to the hull and engine(s). It also extends to other permanently attached equipment that’s required to operate the vessel.
Liability Coverage: This part of your policy protects you if you’re found at fault in an accident that causes bodily injury or property damage to others.
- Bodily Injury Liability: If you’re responsible for a boating accident that results in someone else getting hurt, this coverage can help cover for damages arising from their injuries.
- Property Damage Liability: Should you accidentally damage another person’s boat or property, this coverage may help pay for the repairs or replacement.

Selecting the Right Insurance for Your Boat or PWC
Alright, so we’ve covered the basics—now let’s get into other coverage options that might help you. Depending on your boat, where you live, and how you use it, you might want be particularly interested in hurricane haul-out coverage, theft and vandalism protection, personal property coverage, and salvage assistance.
For instance, if you’re cruising around in Florida, having hurricane haul-out coverage could be a lifesaver.
Also, keep in mind that if your boat or PWC is financed, your lender might require certain coverage. They want to make sure everyone’s covered in case something unexpected happens.
