Understanding that one of the most frequent questions beginners have is “what type of coverage do I need?”, the new guide features a dedicated section analyzing the three most common types. Liability coverage protects owners in the event that they cause damage or injury while operating their boats, property damage cover ensures compensation for damage following collision, theft, vandalism, or other covered incidents (depending on policy), while medical payments coverage offers compensation for injuries associated with boat use, regardless of which party is liable.

The type of coverage to choose – and the premium to pay for it – will depend on a wide range of factors, explains the report.

“Insurance companies consider factors like the value of your boat, its age, and its horsepower when determining premiums. Other factors include where and how often you use your boat, as well as your boating experience and claims history. By understanding these factors, you can make informed decisions about which coverage options are best suited for your needs and budget.”

Readers will also find a section on the claims process, with an overview of the steps that need to be taken in the aftermath of an accident. Marine Insurance Now recommends taking photos of the damage and securing any other details, if relevant, before contacting the insurance provider.

As always, being informed is key to securing maximum compensation.

“Familiarize yourself with your policy coverage limits and exclusions so that you know what is covered in case of an accident or damage. Understanding these details will help set realistic expectations during the claims process. Additionally, regularly reviewing your policy can also help ensure that you have adequate coverage for your needs.”

The full report – including sections on how to read and understand policy terms and conditions, and implement safety measures to minimize potential risks – is available free of charge.
