3 Reasons to Buy Boat Insurance

If you own a boat or personal watercraft equipment, your homeowner’s policy may not protect you against liability and property damage. Anytime you take your boat or equipment out on the water, you’re at risk of an accident. Even storing your boat or equipment puts it at risk of sustaining damage. A boat insurance policy can protect you from both. Speak to an agency that serves Federal Way, WA like Hart Insurance. 

Personal Liability

Let’s say you’re enjoying a relaxing afternoon out on the water in your boat. However, as you go to make a turn, you accidentally crash into someone on a jet ski. The person sustains a personal injury and needs to go to the hospital. A boat insurance policy with the proper coverage limits can protect you from getting sued. 

Property Damage

Even if your boat or watercraft stays in storage, it is still susceptible to damage or theft. Strong storms often result in unexpected damage that a boat insurance policy can help you with. Your coverage needs will probably depend upon the size of the boat or type of watercraft equipment. Remember that unexpected accidents can also result in property damage or loss. 

Lender Requirements

If you’ve financed the purchase of your boat and have an active loan on it, your lender may require you to carry boat insurance. You’ll want to check to see what your lender has stipulated in terms of coverages and limits. If you don’t take out your own policy, the bank may take out force-placed insurance. This will likely be more expensive for you.
