Prepare for Summer with the Right Boat Insurance

Before you go out on the water this summer, consider what you would do if you were in a boating accident that caused injuries to someone else. Or if someone else caused damage to your boat, or injured you or your family. Boat insurance covers physical damage to your boat or vessel, as well as damage or injury you may cause to someone else. Your boat insurance policy can include comprehensive and collision coverage, and include damages cause by events outside of your control like weather, theft, and fire. You can also purchase uninsured or underinsured boater coverage, which covers your injuries if you are the victim of an accident caused by another boater with no or limited insurance.

Why You Need Boat Insurance

Purchasing the right boat insurance in Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, or Maine will protect you financially from injuries or property damage that may occur in a boating accident. Boat insurance and personal watercraft insurance also protects you if your boat or watercraft is stolen or damaged by inclement weather or someone else’s negligence. Boat insurance can cover powerboats, sailboats, fishing boats, pontoon boats, boat rentals, commercial boats, and personal watercraft like Jet Skis. If you damage your vessel or cause injuries or damage to someone else, your financial and personal liability is limited. 

Types of Boat Insurance

At Hull Maynard Hersey, we make our clients’ safety our priority. While other insurance companies only focus on boat insurance, or suggest that you insure your boat through your home insurance policy, our agents want you to have the full picture and as much information as possible so that you can have the right type of insurance coverage for your specific needs. We want to protect your safety, but also limit your liability. We can help you determine if you need individual boat insurance, commercial boat insurance, and/or marine insurance. We can also determine if you need watercraft insurance, yacht insurance, sailboat or dinghy insurance, and boat rental insurance. Just contact one of our agents for a free quote today. 

How to Choose the Right Boat Insurance

There are a number of factors that our agents take into consideration when providing a free quote for your boat insurance or watercraft insurance in ME, NH, VT NY, or MA. We will ask you questions about your boating experience, as well as key questions about the boat or watercraft you wish to insure, such as:

• Type of boat
• Length of the boat
• Number of engines/horsepower
• How you use your boat (racing, recreation, fishing, travel, etc.)
• Where your boat is stored
• Your ownership history (Original owners often see lower rates.)
• Your boating experience (Participating in a safety course can help reduce insurance rates.)
