Why do you need boat insurance?
A boat insurance policy helps protect you and your boat. If you don't have a separate boat insurance policy, you're probably underinsured. This could mean paying a lot out of pocket for accidents outside your control. Many homeowners policies cover minor boating risks but don't cover your needs sufficiently due to:
- Size restrictions
- Limitations on horsepower
- Limits on damage coverage
Check out our "boating insurance explained" video and article here for more reasons why boat insurance is a smart idea.
Boat insurance can provide coverage for:
- Damage to your boat including hull, sails, equipment, and more.
- New boat replacement
- Fuel spill liability
- Liability to pay for damages and injuries you cause if you hit another boat, person, dock
- Medical coverage for you and persons in your boat.
- Wreckage removal
What types of watercraft are covered by boat insurance?
All boats aren't the same. You need to customize your boat insurance to meet your needs and provide your watercraft with the proper coverage. Here is a list of the most common types of watercrafts.
- Pontoon boats are one of the most popular inland water boats. They are a flattish boats that rely on floats to remain buoyant. Their wide and spacious area is great for many passengers to enjoy the ride.
- Personal watercraft (PWC) are powered by a water jet pump and the rider generally sits, stands, or kneels on it. There are many types of PWCs which include WaveRunners, Sea-Doos and more.
- Fishing and bass boats are designed and equipped for fishing. Most are powered by an outboard motor and are equipped with power poles, trolling motors, etc.
- Powerboats are the most popular type of boat used for cruising, watersports, and so much more.
- Sailboats are propelled partly or entirely by sails.
If you don't see your watercraft listed and are looking for more information on different types of boats and insurance for boats, check out our boat FAQ page .

Frequently asked questions about yacht insurance
General questions.
How much coverage do I need? Each boat, person, location and situation is different. There isn't a good way to give a "ballpark" figure for how much coverage you need. It’s best to evaluate your comfortable level of risk when protecting your boat, assets and passengers. Your best option is to call our boat specialists at +1.800.236.2453 to discuss the best coverage for you.
Can I insure my yacht for liability only? Yes, we offer protection and indemnity (liability only) coverage to help protect you in case you are responsible for injuries to another person or damage to another boat or property. Many carriers do not offer liability-only policies for yachts, or if they do, require a survey. However, Markel’s protection and indemnity coverage does not require a survey, so you’re able to do what you love without worries out on the water.
Will my policy cover normal wear and tear of my yacht? Most insurance policies will not cover normal wear and tear of your yacht and the deterioration or the resulting damage. However, if your yacht is damaged from fire, explosion, sinking, collision or stranding, you may be protected under our consequential damage coverage.
Can I use my yacht for chartering? We know that sometimes yacht owners charter their yacht for sightseeing tours or even sport fishing to help offset some of the costs of owning a yacht. Markel offers an optional limited charter coverage for these situations provided the captain of the watercraft has a minimum of 2 years loss-free experience of yachting. Additional restrictions may apply.
I live on my yacht. Am I covered? Markel provides live aboard coverage. Be sure to disclose that you live aboard to your agent.
My yacht is in a corporation's name. Can I still insure it with Markel? Our yacht insurance policy can cover corporately titled boats for both personal use and client entertainment. We do require all corporately titled boats designate a designee of the watercraft. Contact your agent to learn more.
Do I need to insure my yacht in the winter? It may seem that since you don't use your yacht in the winter you don't need to insure it. This is a risky way of looking at insurance and one that we have seen cost far too many people far too much money. Your yacht is at risk for damages at all times of the year, not only when it's on the water. For example, if your yacht is placed in storage for the winter and is damaged, you will not have any assistance in paying for those repairs without an active insurance policy.
Do you cover unique boats? We offer coverage for various kinds of boats that other insurers may shy away from, including: high performance boats, airboats, hovercraft, etc. Not sure if your watercraft will be covered? Give us a call at +1.800.236.2453 to speak with one of our marine insurance specialists.
What kind of fishing equipment is covered? Your rods, reels and tackle are automatically covered under your personal effects coverage up to the limit purchased. If that coverage isn't sufficient, our fishing equipment coverage provides insurance protection at replacement cost. Please contact one of our marine insurance specialists at +1.800.236.2453 to find out more.
Claims questions
How do I file a claim? We understand that no one wants to file a claim. That's why we do everything we can to make the process as painless as possible. You can report your yacht insurance claim by calling our office at +1.800.236.2453 or submit your claim online and we'll take it from there.
How long will it take for my claim to be processed? We are committed to investigating, evaluating and resolving marine insurance claims in a timely manner.
Is there anything I can do to help speed up the claim process? Yes, you can help streamline the claims and settlement process and avoid delays by providing the following information when you file your claim:
- Policy number
- Date, time and location of loss or damage
- Description of loss or damage
- Digital photos (if possible)
- Phone number to reach you

Navigating Yacht Insurance: Coverage Essentials for New Owners
What You Need to Know About Yacht Insurance
When you buy a yacht, getting insurance for it is a big deal. It’s not just about protecting your yacht from damage or theft. It’s also about making sure you’re covered if accidents happen, like if someone gets hurt on your boat, or if you accidentally damage another boat. Unlike car insurance, yacht insurance has some special parts to it because owning a yacht comes with unique challenges and risks.
The Main Parts of Yacht Insurance You Should Look At
Protecting your yacht itself.
First off, you want to make sure the yacht – the whole yacht from front to back – is covered. This means if a storm hits, or if you hit something while you’re out on the water, you can get it fixed. There’s a choice here: do you want insurance that pays what the yacht is currently worth if it’s totally wrecked (Actual Cash Value), or one that pays out a set amount you agree on when you get the policy (Agreed Value)? The choice affects how much you get paid in a worst-case scenario.
Covering Your Legal Bases
Having insurance that covers your legal responsibilities is key. If your yacht causes injury to someone or damages another person’s property, this part of the insurance steps in. It helps cover legal costs and any money you might owe them. This keeps your wallet safe from big, unexpected expenses.
Cleaning Up After Yourself
Now more than ever, taking care of the environment is super important. If your yacht leaks fuel or oil and it harms the ocean or coast, cleaning that up can cost a lot. This kind of insurance helps cover those cleanup costs, so you’re not left handling it all on your own.
Your Stuff Onboard
Your yacht likely has a bunch of gear on it – navigation tools, fishing equipment, maybe even some personal items if you spend a lot of time onboard. Insurance that covers personal property and equipment is there to help replace or repair your stuff if it gets damaged or stolen.
Some Extra Protection That Might Come in Handy
- Help When You Need It: If you get stuck out on the water and need a tow or some other kind of emergency help, there’s coverage for that.
- Dealing With Others Who Aren’t Covered Enough: If someone without enough insurance (or none at all) damages your yacht, having uninsured/underinsured coverage means you still have a way to fix your yacht without huge out-of-pocket costs.
Making The Right Choice
Picking the best yacht insurance is all about knowing what you need and finding a policy that matches. It’s smart to talk to insurance folks who know all about yachts – they can help make sure you’re not missing anything important. Look at what the policy covers closely, check the deductibles, and make sure it fits with how and where you plan to use your yacht.

Jack Martin & Associates
At Jack Martin & Associates, we've been providing premier yacht, boat, and marine insurance since 1929. Catering to clients across the United States and the world and with decades of marine-related experience, we are the aquatic insurance experts. Our independent agents offer comprehensive coverage options for new and existing boat and yacht owners. Specializing exclusively in boat, yacht, and commercial marine insurance, we provide a level of service that is unmatched. We are built on the character of our team and are committed to the success and financial stability of our clients, providing the utmost care in marine insurance.
What is Marine Insurance?
Yacht, boat, and marine insurance are types of liability coverage for your aquatic property. Your coverage will depend on your property, lifestyle, and insurance needs. Marine insurance covers not only damage to your vessel but also bodily injury and personal property on the boat. Boats are considered to be 26 feet or smaller, while yachts are considered 27 feet or larger, which impacts the type of insurance you will receive. Typically, yacht coverage is broader, more specialized, and more comprehensive due to the vessel's value, likelihood of traveling further, and more prospected time spent on board. While most policies do not include general wear and tear of your marine vessel, they are crucial in the event of costly damage.
Why Do I Need Marine Insurance?
Much like your home and car, your marine vessel is also an important investment. To ensure the utmost protection - and more financial stability in the event of damage - insurance is a sound solution. Stay protected in the event of theft, damage, or bodily injury with a marine insurance policy. Whether your boat or yacht is for personal or commercial use, insurance may come in handy. There are a number of risks your vessel may face, from extreme weather to collisions and more. Marine insurance can keep you afloat, even when your vessel can't. Some marinas or storage facilities require marine insurance to keep your boat on the property.
Why Jack Martin & Associates?
Our team of licensed professionals will help you decide on a policy that fits your needs. The cost of your marine insurance depends on a variety of factors, including:
- The vessel's value
- Geographic location

The Differences between Boat & Yacht Insurance
When you look at a boat insurance policy, you'll notice the language is unlike your typical homeowner's or auto policy. What you may not know is that vessel insurance can even vary from policy to policy, depending on a variety of factors.
Yachts are classified as vessels 27 feet or more in length, while boats are 26 feet or less. No matter what type of vessel you have, when it comes to the type of policy, seek out Agreed Value. Agreed Value policies are cover all damages, except for sails, outboard motors, canvas covers, cushions or other specified items. They do not reflect depreciation or market value, which means you will get a greater settlement in the event of a claim. Other policies such as Actual Cash Value may be cheaper, but they also factor in depreciation and market value and will subtract that from your payout.
Also, when it comes to navigation limit, boat and yacht insurance policies can vary due to different exposures. For example, a boat policy typically includes unlimited overland transportation on a trailer, while a larger yacht policy would restrict overland trailering to only several hundred miles.
Deductible amounts can also differ. A yacht policy can offer deductibles of up to 3 percent for any hull damage. However, deductibles for a total loss, marine electronics loss or a windstorm loss can vary depending on your particular policy. By contrast, a boat policy offers a flat deductible, typically of $250, $500 or $1,000.
Because yachts inherently incur more risk due to their size and navigation, the liability feature of yacht insurance provides broad coverage designed to shield you from the effects of the maritime law. Your coverage is much broader than with a typical watercraft liability policy, and offers protection to permissive users, captain and crew liabilities, along with the Jones Act, a federal law that allows a seaman who gets injured on the job to bring a suit for damages against his or her employer.
Besides, yacht insurance addresses salvage to a damaged yacht, legal liability to remove a sunken wreck and uninsured boater coverages. In a typical boat policy, only general liability protection is included. For example, if your boat sinks in the Great Lakes or any of its tributaries, the U.S. Coast Guard says it must be raised. There will be salvage costs, fuel clean-up - and you'll have to pay the bill regardless of your coverage.
While most yacht policies provide salvage coverage, they do so in different ways. Some choose to limit the dollar coverage to a stated amount or percentage of the hull amount.
Another very important part of the salvage issue is wreck removal. Some companies include wreck removal under their hull coverage, which then limits its value. A true yacht policy will include it under the protection and indemnity limit, which will provide much higher limits and additional coverage.

Another difference is that in yacht policies, your legal defense is in addition to protection and indemnity limits, while boat policies offer legal defense within the limit of liability.
Yacht policies have warranties, including the seaworthiness, navigation limits territories and navigation lay-up limits. While some boat policies do not require warranties, others may incorporate them.
Many boaters consider adding their vessels to their homeowner's insurance in an attempt to reduce their costs. Although the cost is substantially less when you add a boat to a homeowner's policy, but you don't get near the coverage. In this case, the old adage still holds true - you get what you pay for. The bottom line is not the amount of your policy premium, but how much you will collect at the time of loss.

Insures boats up to 50 feet in length
Gives policyholders access to BoatUS Catastrophe Team
Insures boats valued up to $2.5 million
Doesn’t insure wood or composite boats
Boats more than 40 years old aren’t eligible for coverage
Geico Marine has been writing boat insurance since the 1980s. Originally established as Seaworthy Insurance, the company was bought by financial giant Berkshire Hathaway in 2007.
Under the Geico umbrella, Geico Marine offers insurance designed to meet the needs of the vast majority of boat owners. The list of boats that are ineligible for coverage by Geico is far shorter than those that are. Disqualifying criteria include:
- Boats over 50 feet in length
- Boats over 40 years old (15 years for houseboats)
- Multihull sailboats (catamarans)
- Watercraft made of wood or composite material
- Homemade boats
- Amphibious land boats or hovercraft
- Boats previously deemed a total loss
- Boats valued over $2,500,000
In addition to its strong lineup of coverages, Geico Marine insurance also comes with 24/7 assistance. Additionally, the company has a long-standing association with The Boat Owners Association of the U.S. (BoatUS), including giving policyholders access to the BoatUS Catastrophe (CAT) Team. The BoatUS CAT Team is a group that brings considerable resources to bear – including towboats and cranes – to help BoatUS members and Geico customers recover and salvage their vessels after a natural disaster.

Best for Fishing Enthusiasts: Markel
Special coverage for rods, reels, and other equipment
Emergency towing and personal property coverage included
Lift and trailer coverage available
Claims can take a few weeks to settle
Some negative customer reviews online
Specialty insurer Markel is another provider of boat insurance. Markel boat insurance policies come with multiple coverages included and even more optional coverages available, including many not available from other insurers. Several of these special coverages are geared towards fishing enthusiasts, including both amateurs and professionals.
Among Markel’s special coverages for fishers are protections for rods, reels, and other personal effects, plus coverage for boat lifts and trailers. The company even offers professional angler liability coverage and tournament fee reimbursement as optional add-ons.
However, according to Markel’s documentation and customer reviews online, the company can take up to several weeks to settle claims. This is somewhat longer than some other providers. Customers have also noted that claims can take longer and be more involved, increasing the time it takes to get boats repaired or replaced.

Best for Yacht Owners: Chubb
Coverage designed specifically for yacht owners
High coverage limits available for captained vessels
Vessels must be 36 feet longer or greater to qualify for yacht coverage
Crew required for vessels over $3 million
Global insurer Chubb is one of the few large carriers that offers boat insurance designed specially for yachts, including those over 70 feet in length with professional captains and crews.
Yacht insurance from Chubb is available for pleasure cruisers at least 36 feet long (and valued up to $3 million), as well as captained yachts at least 70 feet long and valued at $3 million or more.
Among the niche yacht coverages available from Chubb are:
- Search and rescue
- Longshore and harbor workers’ compensation
- Boat show and demonstration
- Oil Pollution Act
Yacht insurance from Chubb can even include temporary substitute watercraft, so you can still enjoy the water if your yacht is damaged and requires repairs.
- Agreed value
- Liability protection for both owner and crew
- Replacement cost loss settlement
- Uninsured/underinsured boater
- Medical payments
- Search and rescue
- Longshore and harbor workers’ compensation

Best for Jet Ski and Personal Watercraft Owners: SkiSafe
Coverage specifically designed for personal watercraft
Vessels are still covered during winter lay-up periods
Water sports liability coverage is included
No coverage for commercial use
$25,000 limit for no-fault medical payments
Specialty provider SkiSafe is one of the biggest personal watercraft insurers you’ve never heard of. The company doesn’t underwrite its own policies; that’s handled by AXIS Insurance Co., a large Bermuda-based insurer. SkiSafe has been around for nearly 50 years and insured more than half a million boaters.
Boat insurance from SkiSafe is designed to meet the needs of personal watercraft owners. As a result, coverages are fairly consolidated and focus specifically on the reduced needs of these types of boaters. Naturally, there is a heavy focus on coverage for injuries, including related to water sports. However, there are also special savings related to lay-ups, since the season for personal watercraft can be relatively short compared to other types of boats.
- Physical damage
- Bodily injury
- Medical payments ($25,000 limit for no-fault medical payments)
- Water sports liability
- Commercial use is not covered
- Roadside assistance
- Policies have stated navigational limits
- Owners can’t take vessels to another country without prior approval
- Boating safety course
- Clean driving record
- Restricted navigation territory
- Multi-craft
- Winter layup
- AXIS Insurance Company is rated A+ (Superior) by AM Best
Best for Houseboats: American Family
Special coverage designed specifically for houseboats
Up to $100,000 of personal effects coverage available
Boats up to 54 feet can be covered (40 feet in Georgia)
A marine survey may be required
Must work with a local agent to buy coverage
American Family is unique among boat insurance carriers in that it’s one of few that offers a policy designed specifically for houseboats. Included in American Family houseboat policies are several coverages that cater specifically to these types of vessels, including up to $100,000 for your personal property in case items are stolen, damaged, or fall into the water.
Houseboat insurance from American Family may lack some coverages you might find with other types of vessels, such as emergency towing or parts delivery (these are included in some boat policies from American Family, but it’s unclear from the website whether they’re included in houseboat policies). Additionally, these policies have restrictions specific to houseboats, including horsepower limitations. But, American Family also offers unique discounts particularly helpful for houseboat owners.
- Property damage (liability)
- Medical expenses
- Watercraft equipment
- Houseboat repair cost
- Total loss agreed value
- Houseboats can’t be used as a permanent residence
- Vessels can’t be used for business purposes (separate coverage required)
- Boats must be 54 feet or shorter (40 feet in Georgia)
- Vessel MSRP must be less than $250,000
- 500 horsepower limit for single-engine boats and 1,000 for dual-engine craft
- Boating safety features
- Autopay and paperless
- Premium paid-in-full
- Multi-policy bundling
- Diminishing deductible
Best for Discounts: Progressive
Numerous discounts available
Can buy coverage online
Up to $1,000 of coverage if a pet is hurt or killed in a boating incident
Lots of limits on boat length and value
Many types of vessels are ineligible for coverage
Rounding out our list is insurance giant Progressive, which also has a strong boat insurance offering. Progressive has been insuring boats for more than three decades and insures more than 1 million vessels. Its policies should meet the needs of most owners of boats less than 50 feet long and worth less than $500,000.
Where Progressive really shines, though, is in its list of available discounts. Progressive offers boaters not just the standard discount opportunities available with other insurers, such as multi-policy, multi-boat, or paid-in-full discounts. Progressive also offers savings simply from switching coverage from another country. Additionally, accident forgiveness is also available for incidents both large and small.

The Bottom Line
Boat insurance is a highly individual product, much more so than auto or home insurance. Because boat owners’ needs vary greatly, it’s important to research providers to find the right carrier for your vessel and use case. Based on our research, we found that Geico is the best insurance company available for the widest array of vessels and the most common types of uses.
Things To Consider When Buying Boat Insurance
- Coverage options : When looking for coverage, be sure to focus on the standard protections included in policies from each carrier, as well as optional add-ons available.
- Policy limits and deductibles : Pay close attention to coverage limit type (such as replacement cost or agreed value), vessel value limitations, and policy deductibles for each carrier.
- Navigational limits : Some carriers have limits on where their coverage is active, though few disclose this information publicly.
- Additional services and benefits: Extra features like 24/7 assistance, emergency towing, or part delivery can add significant value to a boat insurance policy.
- Exclusions and limitations: Many carriers have exclusions for certain activities (such as commercial use), as well as certain types or values of vessels.
- Agreed value vs. actual cash value: Some insurers offer boat coverage up to a specific value or amount agreed upon by the insurer and owner (typically, at the time the policy is written) should a covered incident occur, whereas other companies only may cover the actual cash value of your vessel.
- Discounts and special offers : Multi-policy and multi-boat policies are common, but more niche discounts can offer greater opportunities to save.
How We Chose the Best Boat Insurance
To identify the best boat insurance, we reviewed offerings available from numerous reputable carriers. We focused primarily on those with solid financial ratings and comprehensive coverage options to meet the needs of a wide array of boaters. We then narrowed down our selections to those providers with best-in-class offerings specifically designed to meet certain types of boaters.
WHY SHOULD YOU TRUST US?
At U.S. News 360 Reviews, our contributors and editors have years of experience researching and reviewing complex financial topics including insurance policies. Dock David Treece , the author of this piece and a senior contributor for 360 Reviews, has more than two decades of experience in the finance and insurance industry. He has covered insurance and other financial topics for Forbes, Investopedia, Business.com, and other publishers. He has also written for several insurers, including Progressive.
Based on our research, Geico Marine offers the best boat insurance policies for the greatest number of boat owners and operators.
Boat insurance is not required in most states. However, if you have a loan secured by a boat, most lenders require that you buy boat insurance. Additionally, boat insurance can protect owners and operators against personal liability if they’re involved in an accident.
When you buy boat insurance, you’ll need to provide several pieces of personal information, as well as information about your boat and applicable licenses. Depending on the type of boat and policy, you may also be required to submit a marine survey, which assesses the condition of your vessel.
Boat insurance does not typically have a waiting period before you can file a claim.
Some insurers allow policyholders to insure multiple boats under the same policy, so long as they all have the same owner(s). Many carriers also offer discounts for owners who insure multiple boats with the same company.
Depending on the size, type, and value of the vessel being insured, some carriers require a boat to undergo an inspection (called a marine survey) in order to assess the boat’s condition prior to binding coverage.

Having been around boats and yachts for more than 40 years, I have always had a strong passion for the water. My career has taken me to seas and oceans around the world. Beginning my career in the UK and English channel, I transitioned to spending several year in the middle east (Abu Dhabi & Dubai), and then to the Mediterranean, all with work within the marine, automotive and aviation businesses.
I spent 5 years with Marsh as the Senior VP leading the Global Yacht division. I then started the first of my companies, Private Insurance Services. Private Insurance Services was acquired a few years ago, allowing me to retire from the corporate world in 2021. However I discovered that retirement was not for me – thus, the birth of Yachtsafe Global, LLC based here in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I’m honored and humbled to say that the response from former clients and industry leaders has been heartwarming.
It would be my pleasure, and that of my outstanding team members, to assist in meeting all of your yacht insurance needs.

Blog | A-Z Guide to Luxury Yacht Insurance
Although in many states, the law doesn’t require owners to carry yacht insurance, most yachts are insured because of the astronomical cost of repairs. Yacht insurance is also typically required by banks, marinas, yacht clubs and the federal government to cover crew-related liabilities (unless the vessel is owner-operated).
However, because each yacht is highly unique in size, systems, crewing and operational geography, buying yacht insurance is much more complex than insuring a car, for example. Yacht insurance policies are tailored to individual vessel needs, and owners can benefit from dissecting the elements of a policy so they know what questions to ask and what exclusions and inclusions to pay attention to.
YACHT INSURANCE 101
All yacht insurance policies offer two key coverages – physical damage and liability. Physical damage coverage includes repairs of the hull, machinery and equipment, but exceptions apply and they vary from one insurer to another. Ask your broker in detail which physical elements and systems are covered and which are not.
Liability coverage protects you from claims of damage to persons or property. The scope of these claims can be quite extensive and include damage to other vessels, port equipment and facilities, as well as injury or death. Your coverage must include environmental damage remediation, such as cleaning up oil contamination or removing a wrecked vessel from the water, and it must cover incidents involving onshore marine workers and crew members, as per federal law.
Yacht insurance can include many types of protection for policyholders, but insurers vary in what risks they will and will not cover. That’s why it’s so important to review exclusions in detail. You don’t want to discover something isn’t covered after the fact.
WATER CRAFTS AND ‘TOYS’
Personal water crafts and ‘toys’ – from jet skis and seabobs to submersibles – are expensive assets that should also be insured. Review your vessel policy with your broker to see if yacht insurance covers these water toys and equipment. If this is not the case, you may need to get a separate policy for each of these items.
INSURANCE COVERAGE DURING LAND STORAGE OR TRANSPORTATION
If you have to transport your yacht by land or on a yacht delivery ship, you will need a policy that extends to those cases. Under the U.S. Carriage of Goods at Sea Act, the steamship line liability for damages to your yacht can be as low as $500, so you may need to supplement that with further coverage. Similarly, if you keep your yacht on land during the off-season, you will need to cover fire and other natural perils, as well as theft and vandalism.
UNINSURED BOATER COVERAGE
Although most yacht owners carry comprehensive insurance, some owners still do not. An uninsured boater policy protects you in the event that you or someone on board your yacht sustains injuries during an incident with a vessel that has no insurance.
EMERGENCY TOWING AND WRECK REMOVAL
Whenever you need fuel delivered at sea or towed to a place of repair, you want to have these costs covered by yacht insurance. Review your policy to check if there is a limit on these costs or a limited number of towing services per year. Similarly, if the yacht is wrecked as a result of a major accident or disaster and becomes an environmental or navigational hazard, you want coverage that will pay for salvage and disposal.
WHAT IS TYPICALLY EXCLUDED FROM YACHT INSURANCE?
Although many yacht insurance policies are quite comprehensive, there are always certain types of damage or liability either not reimbursed or categorized as “extras”. Here are some issues typically excluded from normal wear and tear coverage:
Insects, Mold and Marine Life Encounters
Mold and pests can cause costly damage to the hull, decks, interior or equipment, but they are not covered by insurance. For example, if a shark sinks its teeth into the stern (unlikely) or bugs eat through soft goods during winter storage (more likely), you’ll need special coverage to pay for those repairs.
Negligence, Boating Under Influence and Racing
Like other insurance policies, yacht insurance excludes losses through negligence or willful misconduct. If your yacht is involved in an incident due to someone operating it under the influence, your insurer may reject the claim outright or only the liability portion. Racing may be another excluded event and require its own dedicated policy.
Geographical Limitations
Most yacht insurance plans extend to specific cruising areas and deactivate when a yacht sails beyond these navigational limits. Yacht owners must ensure their navigation area is covered by insurance. In addition, many policies require yachts to be stored above certain latitudes during hurricane season. Owners should be aware of these requirements or have their insurance plans extended to where the yacht is moored.
AGREED VALUE VS. ACTUAL CASH VALUE
In addition to the scope of coverage, most owners are concerned with the amount of insurance compensation, insurance premiums and their impacting factors. How an insurer values your claim is a big factor in determining both compensation and premiums.
If you elect to carry an ‘agreed-value’ policy, you get the exact amount shown on the policy when it is signed, minus your deductible. This option comes with higher premiums, but it’s preferred by many owners. Your other option is an ‘actual cash value’ (ACV) policy, where the insurer factors depreciation into the claim value, resulting in lower annual premiums.
BEST OPTIONS TO BUY YACHT INSURANCE
While smaller boats can be insured by your home insurance, owning a mega yacht always calls for a tailored insurance plan. A comprehensive yacht insurance policy should cater to specific risks associated with navigating a larger vessel on high seas, including the liability to your crew or other boaters, damage to water toys or other property aboard or sailing in certain geographic regions.
Many owners turn to yacht brokers or professional maritime insurance providers, like Oversea Insurance Agency, who leverage a worldwide network to offer 24/7 assistance all over the globe. By having a comprehensive yacht insurance plan from industry experts, yacht owners can rest assured that they will receive the most comprehensive insurance coverage and full support from initial consultation to insurance claim resolution.

Supreme Court Opinion on Maritime Law Solidifies Insurer’s Choice-of-Law Clause
A dispute between an insurer and a yacht owner went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court with a decision recently—the first of its kind on marine insurance in about 70 years—to clarify federal maritime law and state insurance law.
Last month the highest court released a unanimous opinion that choice-of-law provisions in maritime contracts, governed by federal maritime law, are enforceable over state law. Maritime contracts include marine insurance policies.
The case at hand, Great Lakes Insurance v. Raiders Retreat Realty, goes back to 2019 when a yacht ran aground in Florida, sustaining hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. Munich Re’s Great Lakes denied the claim and sued Raiders Retreat in Pennsylvania federal court after an investigation found that fire extinguishers on the boat did not meet required standards. Raiders Retreat then countersued, alleging breach of contract under Pennsylvania’s Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. The insurer won in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania—finding that federal choice-of-law provisions in the policy could be enforced.
Raiders appealed and, while the U.S. Court of Appeals recognized choice-of-law provisions in maritime contracts, it sent the case back to the district court to consider whether applying New York law would violate Pennsylvania’s policy regarding insurance. Insurers typical include choice-of-law provisions in contracts and declare that New York law applies when there is no federal precedent.
The American Institute of Marine Underwriters said the Supreme Court’s decision clarified the insurer’s choice-of-law clause in a policy and said it cannot be disregarded due to another state’s laws. There are narrow exceptions but none applied to this case, the court said.
“The ruling adheres to the principles of uniformity and certainty in maritime law,” the AIMU said. Great Lakes was represented by AIMU member The Goldman Maritime Law Group and an amicus brief, cited several times in the opinion delivered by Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, was written by member Wiggin and Dana on behalf of AIMU.
“As well stated in the court’s opinion, this decision will enable marine insurers to better assess risk,” said John Miklus, president of AIMU, in a statement. “By enforcing an insurance policy’s choice-of-law provisions in jurisdictions that are well developed, known, and regarded, the court recognizes that insurers can lower the price and expand the availability of marine insurance.”
Kavanaugh wrote that the presumption of enforceability of the provisions “facilitates maritime commerce by reducing uncertainty and lowering costs for maritime actors.”
“Maritime commerce traverses interstate and international boundaries, so when a maritime accident or dispute occurs, time-consuming and difficult questions can arise about while law governs,” he continued. “By identifying the governing law in advance, choice-of-law provisions allow parties to avoid later disputes—as well as ensuing litigation and it attendant costs.”
Pamela A. Palmer of the Clark Hill law firm said the high court opinion will help to “eliminate any confusion in the industry that marine insurance contracts are somehow different than or held to a different standard than general maritime contracts.”
“What strikes me in the decision is the court’s acknowledgment that choice-of-law provisions are important to reduce uncertainty and to lower costs for maritime entities but, more importantly in the context of marine insurers, knowing what law applies enables marine insurers to better assess risk and to price policies,” Palmer said. “This is a huge consideration for the marine insurance industry and had the court held otherwise the price and availability of insurance would be severely impacted—considerations that ironically would have harmed policyholders in the long run despite what would have felt like a short-term policyholder win in this case.”
Onlookers also waited to see if the Supreme Court would address a 1955 decision in Wilburn Boat Co. v. Fireman’s Insurance Co. , another maritime insurance case in which the court ruled a court could apply state law if there is no established maritime law. However, Kavanaugh concluded Wilburn Boat did not need to be considered because it did not involve choice-of-law provisions.
“While it would have been an additional victory for proponents of maritime uniformity for the court to have overruled Wilburn Boat, Justice Kavanaugh did not take that additional step,” wrote Charlie McCammon, president of marine risk consulting, in a blog for WTW.
In a concurring opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote separately about Wilburn Boat, saying it is “at odds with the fundamental precept of admiralty law.”
“Wilburn Boat’s rationale is deeply flawed,” he added.
