What Is Boat Insurance?

Boat insurance covers physical damage to your watercraft, liability if you injure someone or damage their property, and medical payments for you and your passengers. Your homeowners policy usually won't cover watercraft above a certain value — so if you've got a boat, it needs its own policy. In Florida, where boats are basically a lifestyle, this isn't optional.

Why Boat Insurance Matters

Boats aren't cheap to fix or replace. Accidents on the water can lead to serious injuries and costly property damage. A standalone boat policy fills the gap that your homeowners coverage leaves open — and it gives you the kind of protection that lets you enjoy the water without worrying about what-ifs.

Who Needs Boat Insurance?

If you own a boat, jet ski, pontoon, center console, or any other watercraft in Florida — and you trailer it, dock it, or store it — you should have coverage on it. Period.

Coverage Highlights

  • Hull and physical damage coverage
  • Liability protection on the water
  • Medical payments for passengers
  • Uninsured watercraft coverage
  • Trailer coverage
  • Hurricane haul-out and storage coverage

Local Considerations

Florida is the boating capital of the country. With the Gulf Coast, the Atlantic, the Chain of Lakes, and rivers everywhere, there's no shortage of water to enjoy — or risks to account for. Hurricane season adds another layer, since your boat needs to be covered whether it's in the water or sitting on a trailer in your driveway during a storm. We work with carriers who understand Florida's watercraft risks and can cover everything from bass boats to offshore fishing rigs.
