The Cost of Boat Insurance

by admin

There are three factors that are most commonly used to determine the cost of boat insurance coverage.

One of the first questions that will be asked is the size of the boat. The agent is looking for the length, in feet, of the boat that you want to insure. The size is used in order to determine the basic starting premium. On average, the premium for, let’s say, a 25 foot boat will be somewhere between $300 to $500 per year, depending upon where you live and depending upon the deductible that you choose to have. Of course, the higher the deductible, the lower the premium.

The Importance of Boat Insurance

Every boat owner who values their boat knows how important it is to make sure you have the proper amount of insurance coverage just in the event that something were to happen to it. With a boat, just like with a car or home, accidents can happen. And it is important to make sure that such a valuable investment is covered in case of a mishap.

When you finance a boat, most of the time the lending company or financial institution will require that you insure your boat just like they would if you were purchasing a car or house. This is because they have as much to lose as you do. Having insurance coverage protects both them and you in the event that something should happen to the boat.
