Why do you need Insurance for your boat?
You'll enjoy the water, even more, when you're not worried about the safety of yourself, your passengers or your investment.
Here are a few things to consider:
​
-
If you're in an accident or your watercraft is stolen, it costs money, often a lot of money, to fix or replace it.
​​
-
If you or any passengers are injured in an accident, medical costs can be extremely expensive.
​​
-
If your watercraft is responsible for damage or injury to others, you may be sued for much more than you're worth.
​​
-
Your watercraft also needs protection when it's on land. Accidents can happen while towing a watercraft.
