Boat Insurance

Whether it's a bass boat or a pontoon, your time on the water deserves the right coverage.

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.

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, bass boat, or any other watercraft — and you trailer it, dock it, or store it — you should have coverage on it. Period.

Boat Insurance Questions We Actually Get

Straight answers to what people ask us around here.

Is the boat already on my homeowners policy?
There is often some watercraft coverage on a homeowners policy, but it is typically capped — limited by length, horsepower, or a small dollar amount — and liability on the water is usually the piece that runs short first. For anything bigger than a jon boat it is normally written as its own policy. The declarations page will say which you have.
Does the trailer need to be covered separately?
Sometimes. The hull, the motor and the trailer do not always sit on the same part of the policy, and the trailer in particular is the one people assume is included. Worth asking about it specifically rather than assuming.
What about the dock or the boat lift?
Docks and lifts on Pickwick and Bay Springs are usually handled outside the boat policy — some sit on the homeowners policy as other structures, some need their own. Which way it goes depends partly on whether you own the water frontage. Bring the paperwork and we will sort out which is which.
Do people keep coverage through the winter?
Most do. A boat is more likely to be damaged sitting in storage than owners expect — wind, a falling tree, fire, theft of the motor — and the off-season is when nobody is looking at it. Some policies carry layup provisions that change how coverage works in those months.
