Spent about two weeks shopping for coverage for our boat before spring launch. The first thing I learned: the cheapest quote often hides gaps in coverage. Look at agreed value vs actual cash value — on an ACV policy, depreciation cuts the payout after a total loss. If the boat is older, expect the insurer to ask for a recent survey. The hard part is the policy language, so a good starting point is yacht insurance — it covers the main coverage options in plain English. Then check the navigation limits: going past the listed waters can leave you uncovered. In hurricane country, the named storm deductible is often a percentage of hull value, not a flat amount. Don't skimp on liability either — wreck removal and guest injuries can cost more than the boat itself. Compare two or three carriers and go through the exclusions before you pay.
