Policy Questions

Are boat insurance rates
higher for new boat
owners?

Boating experience is one
of the factors incorporated
into boat insurance rating. If
you have little or no prior
boating experience, it's
understandably difficult for
an insurance carrier to
judge your ability to operate
a boat safely. Therefore,
first time boat owners can
expect to pay more for boat
insurance than an
experienced boater.
Completing a boat safety
course as a first time owner
will demonstrate both a
willingness and ability to
operate your boat safely
and that can help to reduce
rates.

Is there a difference
between boat and yacht
insurance?

A boat is usually classified
as being 26 feet long or
smaller, and a yacht is 27
feet and larger. As a longer
vessel, yachts often have
larger navigational ranges,
encounter a larger variety
of hazards, so yacht
insurance tends to be more
detailed and expensive
than a smaller boat
insurance policy.
