Here is what boat insurance covers:
- Navigational area- While you are in the water, it is critical that you know where you are covered. It is typical to have protection up to 75 mimles from the coastline in the U.S.
- Agreed value- Boats will also lose value over time. If your boat is a total loss, you will receive th value that it’s insured for.

- Medical payments- This covers both you and your passengers if you are hurt in a boating accident no matter who causes it.
- Physical damage- This covers repair and replacement expenses for your boat if it or anything attached to it becomes damaged or stolen.
