How to Choose the Right Boat Insurance Coverage
Using an independent insurance agent can be a helpful way to choose the right boat insurance coverage. Working with an agent specializing in boat insurance with experience in the marine industry is essential.
Discuss your boating needs and budget to determine the appropriate level of coverage. Consider factors such as your vessel type, size, intended use and location to identify any unique risks that may require additional coverage.
Review the available insurance policies with your agent to ensure they provide the appropriate coverage and meet your needs. Your agent can help you get quotes from multiple insurance carriers to compare prices and coverage options before selecting a policy.

- Consider taking a boating safety course as many insurance companies offer discounts for those who have completed a course.
- Bundle your boat insurance with other policies, such as auto or home insurance, to receive a multi-policy discount.
