Boating Facts

Boat insurance is not required in the state of Florida. However, with the amount of accidents reported each year, the reason to have coverage is clear. In 2012, the United States Coast Guard reported a total of 4,515 boating accidents, 13% of those ending in fatalities. In Florida, the rate of boat accidents is estimated to be one in every 1,018 boats registered in every county.

Why You Should Have Boat Insurance

Paying for accidents out of pocket can be very costly. Fuel spills are accidents that occur often, and if your boat is the cause of one, you could be held responsible to pay for the cleanup. Also, non-contact accidents may have you paying for damage to another boat when the wake of yours causes it to capsize. Having boat insurance can't stop these situations from happening, but they can help you cover the costs if they do.

Types Of Coverage

We provide coverage for your customer’s specific needs with policy options like:

The coverage you receive will depend on the type of policy you have chosen. It will cover against any liability or damage in the event of an accident, and machinery, furnishings, sails, hull, and most on-board equipment are typically taken care of under physical damage. Homeowners insurance may not cover your particular watercraft stored at home. Therefore, you may need to look into policies that cover at home storage. These policies can also help cover accidents that occur should you store away from home.

Each policy is different, so those looking for good insurance need to read the details of a policy carefully. You will feel confident working with the honest agents at Runnels Insurance as they help guide you through the process of choosing the correct policy for boat insurance. Brandon, FL and Tampa, FL residents can rest easy knowing we are insuring your world, one policy at a time.
