Watercraft
Insurance
Why do you need insurance for your boat or personal watercraft?
You'll enjoy the water ever more when you're not worried about the safety of yourself, your passengers or your investment. Here are a few things to consider:
​
-
If you're in an accident or your watercraft is stolen, it costs money, often a lot of money, to fix or replace it.
-
If you or any passengers are injured in an accident, medical costs can be extremely expensive.
-
If your watercraft is responsible for damage or injury to others, you may be sued for much more than you're worth.
-
Your watercraft also needs protection when it's on land. Accidents can happen while towing a watercraft.
