What does Boat Insurance cover?
There are two basic types of coverage that you can purchase for your boat; Liability and Physical damage coverage.
Boat Liability Coverage covers the cost of bodily injury and property damage that you may be responsible for in accidents involving your boat.
Hull Coverage, also known as physical damage coverage, covers your boat from damaged caused by collisions, fire, theft, vandalism and more.
There are additional coverage options for you and your boat, but in most cases, they can be a bit overkill. Don’t overpay for your boat insurance and only get what you need!

FAQ’s about Boat Insurance
Does boat insurance cover engine or motor repairs?
In most cases, no. Boat insurance doesn’t cover the usual maintenance or wear to your boat motor. However, if your engine or motor is damaged due to a covered peril, such as fire, or vandalism, it may be covered under your Physical Damage Coverage.
How much coverage do I need?
The level of coverage you need also depends on many things based on your specific situation. For example, if you run a deep-sea fishing charter, you may want more coverage than someone who just goes for the occasional weekend cruise around the lake.
Is Boat insurance Required?
Boat insurance is not universally required by law in the same way that auto insurance is. However, there are certain situations where boat insurance may be required or strongly recommended:
- State Requirements: Some states or countries may require boat owners to have liability insurance if they operate their boats in certain waters. The specific regulations can vary, so it’s essential to check the local laws and regulations in your area.
- Marina or Lender Requirements: If you keep your boat in a marina or have a loan on the boat, the marina or lender may require you to have insurance to protect their interests. They want to ensure that potential damages or accidents are covered.
- Personal Choice: Even if it’s not legally required, having boat insurance is a good idea for most boat owners. It provides financial protection in case of accidents, theft, damage, or liability claims. It can give you peace of mind and protect your investment.
