Spent about two weeks shopping for coverage for our boat before the season. Lesson one: a low premium usually means a pile of exclusions. Look at whether the hull is insured at agreed value or ACV — on an ACV policy, depreciation eats your claim after a total loss. If the boat is older, be ready for the insurer to ask for a recent survey. Most of the confusion comes from the policy language, so this helped me sort it out: yacht insurance — it covers the main policy terms without the sales talk. Then check the navigation limits: cruising outside them can leave you uncovered. In hurricane country, the named storm deductible is often a percentage of hull value, not a flat amount. Pay attention to liability limits — wreck removal and guest injuries can cost more than the boat itself. Get at least three quotes and go through the exclusions before you sign.
