With Memorial Day right around the corner, it means summer is here and boating season is underway! For those who pine for the open sea, there’s nothing that compares to a day out on the water. However, boating can be a pricey hobby…even canoes can be costly. Also, depending on what type of boat you have there can be a lot of risks involved. This is where boat insurance comes into play!
Although most people don’t like to think about the extra cost that goes into having an insurance policy, it may be a wise decision to relieve your mind and let you fully enjoy your boating experience. Also, it may be necessary since some marinas or yacht clubs won’t let you dock without proof of insurance.
Within the insurance industry there are generally three categories of watercraft: Boats (Under 25 feet, 11 inches in length), Yachts (Generally 26 feet or longer in length), and Personal Watercraft (Jet skis, wave runners, and other personal watercraft).
