Marine Coverage
Liability – Liability insurance on a watercraft is similar to that of an automobile. Your liability coverage will pay to repair/replace the other persons property, medical care, lost wages and other costs incurred as a result of a boating accident in which you’re at fault.
Agreed Value Coverage – Like automobiles, watercraft depreciates almost immediately once you buy it. That makes it difficult when it comes to replacing the watercraft in the event of a theft or any other action that would destroy the watercraft. If your watercraft is a total loss, you get the amount that you insured it for, after your deductible has been paid.
Medical Payments – This will cover needed medical care that’s resulted from a boating accident. This coverage is available from as little as $500 and up to $10,000 which covers all persons on board your watercraft, including those being towed, regardless of who is at fault.
Physical Damage Coverage – This pays the cost to repair or replace your watercraft or anything permanently attached, as well as the trailer if it’s stolen or damaged.
Un/under insured Watercraft Bodily Injury – Unlike automobile insurance, boaters insurance is not mandatory and many boaters do not get the insurance. Thus, if you’re hit by a boater without the proper amount of insurance, this coverage pays for medical treatment, lost wages and other costs associated with the accident.
Fuel Spill Liability and Wreckage Removal – If your watercraft happens to be seriously damaged and/or sink, it could possibly leak oil and fuel into the water. If this happens, you’re responsible by law for the cleanup. This can be very expensive and time consuming.
Personal Effects – This coverage is for many of your personal effects including your clothes (not including fur), jewelry (not including watches), cell phones, SCUBA/snorkeling equipment and your fishing equipment.
Unattached Equipment Coverage – This pays to repair or replace anything relating to a watercraft that isn’t permanently attached such as life vests, skis, anchors, oars, etc.
Emergency Assistance – Similar to automobile roadside assistance, this covers towing, labor, delivery of gas or battery replacement if the water is disabled while on the water.
