Do you know what to look for in a watercraft insurance policy?
Your Watercraft insurance coverage is most often made up of the specific options you choose, including:
Navigational Area
Know where you are covered in the water. Some companies offer protection that covers you up to 75 miles from the U.S. coastline; into Canadian coastal or inland waters; and into the Pacific coastal waters of Mexico.
Agreed Value or Market Value Coverage.
Typically, insurance companies offer two different types of boat insurance: “agreed value” and “market value”. Fox Business describes the difference between these two policy types as lying in the depreciation value of the vessel. Agreed value policies require the insurance company and policyholder to agree on the market value of the boat at the onset of the policy. If something happens to the boat, the policyholder receives the full value of it. Conversely, market value policies insureLike car insurance, personal liability coverage provides coverage to other boaters and boat owners in the event you are at-fault for an accident on the water. This coverage will pay to repair or replace the property of someone else as well as for their medical care, lost wages and other costs incurred as a result of a boating accident for which you
Liability
Like car insurance, personal liability coverage provides coverage to other boaters and boat owners in the event you are at-fault for an accident on the water. This coverage will pay to repair or replace the property of someone else as well as for their medical care, lost wages and other costs incurred as a result of a boating accident for which you are at-fault.
Medical Payments
Medical payments coverage will pay for the cost of needed care that is the result of a boating accident. This coverage is typically available from $500 to $10,000 and covers you, your passengers, and even your water skiers/tubers, regardless of who is at-fault.
Physical Damage Coverage
Physical damage coverage pays for the cost to repair or replace your watercraft, its motor, any permanently attached equipment, and your trailer if it is stolen or damaged.
Uninsured/Underinsured Watercraft Bodily Injury
Since boat coverage is not always mandatory, many boaters choose not to get insurance. If you are hit by an uninsured or underinsured boater, and you are injured, this type of coverage pays for medical treatment, lost wages, and other costs associated with the accident.
Fuel Spill Liability and Wreckage Removal
Should your boat sink or be severely damaged, there is a chance that it could leak oil or fuel into the water. As the boat’s owner you are required by law to have this cleaned up, which can be time consuming and expensive.
Personal Effects
Your policy can provide coverage for many personal effects, including:
-
clothing
-
cell phones
-
scuba/snorkeling and other sporting equipment
-
fishing equipment
-
Personal effects coverage does not include jewelry, watches or furs.
Unattached Equipment Coverage
This pays to repair or replace equipment that isn’t permanently attached to your boat or personal watercraft but is designed for use primarily on a boat. This includes items like:
-
lifesaving equipment
-
water skis
-
anchors
-
oars
-
fire extinguishers
-
tarps
Emergency Assistance
Some boat insurance policies may provide coverage for towing, labor and delivery of gas, oil or loaned battery if the watercraft is disabled while on the water.
