AVOID HOLES IN YOUR COVERAGE: While you may be able to insure your boat on your homeowners policy, typically this type of coverage only protects against physical damage while your boat is stored at your house. You may not be protected when you’re actually on the water. With specialty boat insurance, you’ll get all of the coverages listed above (or the option to select them). To avoid getting worried sick at sea, we encourage you to purchase a specialty boat insurance policy that covers you year-round for any occasion on the water.
