There’s a good chance you bought your boat from a dealer who specializes in watercraft. So when it comes to insuring your boat, doesn’t it make sense to do that with a company that also specializes in boats? We’re boaters too, so we get it.
Here are three of the most important reasons why having your boat on its own insurance policy simply makes sense:
-
- Insuring your boat through your home policy means any claims for damages on your boat will count as claims on the whole policy. A marine-specific policy with BOATsmart! ASSURE eliminates that risk.
- The coverage for home insurance and boat insurance are quite different. In almost every case, the quality of coverage your boat would have, when added to a home policy, would not contain anywhere near the amount of coverage that a stand-alone boat policy would offer. For example – here are some of the great BOATsmart! Assure coverage features:
- Emergency Towing
- Vermin Coverage
- Fast Claims Settlement
- Your Choice Repair Centers
- And we are backed by Lloyd’s of London
- The basis of settlement on a home insurance policy for boats is measured in terms of actual cash value (replacement cost less depreciation). This can often make calculating a claim value extremely complex and difficult, and in the end, it could actually cost you more money than you thought. With marine-specific insurance – like BOATsmart! Assure, the basis of settlement on a stand-alone boat policy is based on ‘agreed value’. It’s best-in-class insurance coverage for smart boaters, like you.
