Marine Boat Insurance Vancouver BC

Benefits of Good Boat Insurance

Summer is approaching, and you’re probably itching to get back on board your boat. Before you do, consider boat insurance to protect your craft. While you don’t have to worry about pirates, you can protect yourself from dangers like rough seas, collisions, and mechanical failure. Perform pre-season maintenance. Inventory your personal property. For insurance purposes, you’ll need a list of your belongings in case they are stolen or destroyed. Lock up and store dangerous materials like paints, cleaners and glues away from living areas. Consider storing high-value items in safety deposit boxes or at home.

Protect your boat with our marine and boat insurance. We recognize your boat is more than a pleasurecraft: it’s an expensive investment.

While some home insurance policies cover boats, those policies often limit marine-related risks. Our comprehensive, customizable policy offers peace of mind through features like:

1. “All Risks” – Protect your vessel from wear and tear or faulty workmanship. It also covers damages caused to other boats, legal costs, salvage fees and more. There is no depreciation on sails and running gear.

2. Personal Effects – Personal effects stored on your boat, including electronic appliances and built-in sound systems.

3. Liability and Medical Payments – Protect yourself from risk with protection and indemnity liability and from boat-related injuries—including for water-skiing.

Additional coverage
Our Marine & Boat Insurance is highly flexible, offering you a range of extra coverages that let you customize the level of protection that’s appropriate for you and your pleasurecraft.
