What Is Boat & Watercraft Insurance?

Boat and watercraft insurance provides specialized coverage for your vessel, equipment, passengers, and liability while on the water. Unlike a homeowners policy add-on, a standalone boat policy offers tailored protections designed specifically for watercraft owners.

Whether you own a pontoon boat on the Lake of the Ozarks, a bass boat for tournament fishing, or a jet ski for weekend fun, Insurance Plus can help you find comprehensive coverage at a great price. The average boat policy costs less than a dollar a day — giving you peace of mind every time you hit the water.

Coverage Built for Boat Owners

A quality boat insurance policy goes well beyond just covering your hull. It protects you, your passengers, your equipment, and your financial interests with coverages specifically designed for life on the water.

We'll help you determine the right coverage limits based on your vessel type, how and where you use it, and the equipment you carry on board.

Physical damage to your boat and motor
Liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage
