What Does Personal Watercraft Insurance Cover?

A personal watercraft insurance policy is about more than just checking a box—it’s about ensuring you’re fully protected no matter what comes your way. We’ll help you build a plan that fits like a life vest, securely tailored to your needs. Here are some of the key coverage options you’ll want to know about. Want to know more? Just reach out, and we’ll walk you through your options.

Liability Protection

If you accidentally collide with another boat or cause property damage, liability coverage helps cover costs so you don’t have to pay out of pocket.

Collision Coverage

Damage to your own watercraft? That’s covered too. Whether you hit a dock or an underwater obstacle, collision pays for repairs or replacement.

Comprehensive Coverage

Florida weather can be unpredictable. Comprehensive coverage protects you from non-collision risks like theft, vandalism, fire, or storm damage.

Uninsured or Underinsured Boater Coverage

Not everyone on the water is as responsible as you. This coverage ensures you’re protected if an uninsured boater causes an accident.

Medical Payments Coverage

Safety comes first, but accidents can happen. Medical payments coverage assists with costs if you or your passengers are injured.

Accessories and Equipment Coverage

Your watercraft is more than just the hull—it’s the GPS, the sound system, and other attachments. This covers the extras that make your rides memorable.

Why Now Is the Best Time to Get Covered

Still thinking about it? Here’s a thought to consider—your watercraft is a significant investment, and accidents can happen quickly. Waiting until after something goes wrong to think about coverage could leave you with a hefty bill and a lot of stress. Florida is a haven for boat owners and water sports enthusiasts. But it’s also a state known for unpredictable weather and crowded waterways. Investing in personal watercraft insurance is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re protected.

Concerns? We’ve Got Answers

We know there’s a lot to consider when choosing a personal watercraft insurance policy. And you’re probably asking yourself, “Is this really necessary?” We get it—it’s normal to have questions.

Is personal watercraft insurance required in Florida?

No, Florida doesn’t require personal watercraft insurance. But that doesn’t mean you should skip it. Many marinas require proof of insurance before they’ll rent out dock space, and some financing agreements may also mandate coverage. Plus, it’s always better to be prepared than to face unexpected costs after an accident.

Will my homeowner’s policy cover my watercraft?

Homeowner’s insurance might offer limited protection, but it often comes with strict limitations and low coverage limits. A separate personal watercraft policy provides the specialized protection you need for your vessel and waterfront activities.

What if I don’t use my boat year-round?

Florida’s warm weather means there’s almost always an opportunity to hit the water, but we understand you might store your watercraft during certain seasons. Many policies allow for seasonal adjustments, ensuring you’re never over- or under-insured.

Is personal watercraft insurance expensive?

The cost depends on factors like the model of your watercraft, your level of experience, and the type of coverage you choose. But here’s the thing—choosing the right protection often costs far less than repairing or replacing your watercraft after an accident.
