Are you ready to embark on your next on-water adventure?

Before you set sail, here are five things to know about
boat insurance.

1) Boat insurance isn't just for accidents

With comprehensive coverage, you'll also be protected financially for theft, vandalism, and unexpected events like storms if you need repairs or replacements due to damage.

2) Accidents can happen to anyone

When accidents happen, liability coverage/insurance can cover damages or injuries you responsible for while boating, up to specified limits. It can also cover lawsuit costs if you're sued.

3) Boat insurance can cover medical payments

Medical payments coverage can pay for the medical bills for you and your passengers if you’re in a covered accident, regardless of fault.

4) Most lenders require boat insurance

If you financed your boat, you'll likely need boat insurance since most lenders require coverage to protect their investment. Additionally, some marinas or municipalities require proof of insurance for docking.
