Boat Insurance in Jacksonville

Having trouble finding the right boat or watercraft insurance coverage?

Since watercraft have many different uses and come in all shapes and sizes, there's not just one type of boat insurance policy that will protect all of your potential boating needs. In Florida, the value of your boat, the age, where it is being operated and what it is being used for, can impact your needs for specific marine coverage. After all, a yacht and a Jet Ski each have unique insurance needs for protecting you and your assets. Whether you're gliding along the Intracoastal Waterway or hauling your boat to a favorite fishing hole, we can help you find affordable boat insurance with coverage to include:

• Physical Damage
  Based on your needs, the protection can range from "incidental damage" while towing your personal watercraft to the lake up to "consequential damages" to your yacht on the high seas.
• Personal Liability
  Boat, yacht or watercraft insurance for coverage of liability risks is often based on driving records, previous accidents or tickets, and safety features you've installed on your vessel. In most cases, completing certified boater's training can reduce your rates.
• Towing & Salvage Expenses
  Naturally, if your boat sinks, there is going to be significant costs associated with retrieval. You may also consider towing coverage for more simple breakdowns while on the water.
• Pollution Liability
  Depending upon your marine travel plans, you may need marine boat insurance coverage to protect against unexpected disasters where fuel or other hazardous materials are spilled.
• Medical Expenses
  Whether on land or at sea, it is important to have provisions for paying for the medical charges for you, your passengers and others injured due to your fault.
• Personal Watercraft Liability
  Jet Skis and other nimble watercraft can provide hours of recreational fun. Unfortunately, accidental injuries are more common and liability protection against lawsuits is a necessity in today's environment.
