A watercraft policy in Florida or Massachusetts will provide you with coverage for watercraft exposures such as liability and physical damage to the boats, yachts, and small vessels like jet skis and wave runners. (see our homeowners coverage).
The Massachusetts government website states that boat insurance is not required by the state, but it is encouraged. They also offer additional information on boat insurance basics. Much like a mortgage, if you have a loan on your boat, the bank will insist that you obtain watercraft insurance, and while there might be limited coverage available under your homeowner’s policy, it typically only covers around $1,000 in damages if the boat is at your home and it probably offers little to no liability coverage.
Some of the more common things that can happen to your boat include damage from natural disasters such as hurricanes or fires, burglary, or even liability lawsuits filed by other people claiming that you were negligent or caused them injury or damages. Without insurance, how would you handle these situations? Can you imagine the cost?
