Why buy
Watercraft coverage?
Boat owners typically face large property and liability loss
exposures from their boating activities while often going
without proper insurance. The following loss scenarios point
to the need for specialized boat owners coverage. Remember
that many of these loss examples are not covered (or have
tough restrictions) under the standard personal auto or
homeowners policies.
* Your cruiser collides with a speed boat whose operator
fails to yield the right of way, causing extensive damage to
your boat. The owner of the speed boat does not have any
insurance coverage.
* An expensive bass boat you just purchased is stolen from
your home.
* Your 27-foot-long sailboat is damaged by a major hailstorm
while docked at the marina.
* Your sport fishing boat is struck by lightning,
incapacitating its electrical system.
* Your son's friend is water skiing behind your boat and he
falls into the lake, injuring himself, due to the excessive
speed of the boat.
* You negligently cause another boat to overturn to avoid a
collision.
* Your outboard motor explodes, seriously injuring your next
door neighbor.
