FAQs

Some of the most frequently asked questions about boat insurance — along with their answers — follow.

How Much Is Boat Insurance Per Year?

A number of factors can impact how much your premiums cost. Your history, boat and other insurance can impact the cost. Different boat insurance companies also charge different rates.

What Is the Average Cost of Boat Insurance?

There is no average, since the costs can vary depending on your provider, the type of boat you have and other factors. Some boat owners may pay under a hundred dollars or a few hundred dollars a year. Other boat owners may pay $1,000 or thousands of dollars a year. To understand how much you may have to pay, reach out to Reisinger Insurance Agency, Inc. for personalized answers.

Do You Need to Have Insurance on a Boat?

The state of Pennsylvania does not require insurance for a boat, but you may still need coverage. If you want to finance your boat, for example, you'll find that most lenders require insurance before agreeing to a loan. Many marinas and facilities where you store your boat may need a policy to be in place, and most tournaments and fishing competitions require at least some liability coverage.

Even if you don’t legally need insurance, consider the implications of having your boat uncovered. If your boat is vandalized or damaged in any way, you'll need to pay for repairs or replacement yourself. In a situation where someone slips and falls or otherwise injures themselves when visiting your boat, you could be liable for the medical costs. What's more, any personal property you have on the boat may not be protected unless you have a policy.

Are Boats Covered Under Homeowners’ Insurance?

One of the most common questions we're asked is, “Does homeowners insurance cover boats?” The answer is, “a little.” Many homeowner policies cover limited amounts of damage to a boat, and in many cases may cover your boat only while it's on your property. In addition, you'll pay deductibles, and the amount you can recover will be limited, so you'll likely not be able to recover the full value of repairs or replacement.

Personal property you keep inside your boat may be covered under a homeowners insurance policy, but many things won't be. More worryingly, you may not be covered for liability if someone is injured on your boat. If you own a boat in Dauphin or anywhere in the Pennsylvania area, you should have a solid insurance policy in place to protect your investment and your finances.

Does Boat Insurance Cover Storm Damage?

Most policies do cover physical damage from theft and storms. However, you'll want to review your policy closely to understand exactly what's covered.

Does Boat Insurance Cover the Motor?

Boat policies can cover the motor and other parts of the boat.

I'm Restoring My Boat. What Type of Coverage Should I Have?

You'll generally need boat restoration insurance, which may cover you for damages caused by fire, theft, boat transportation and vandalism during the restoration process. This type of policy may cover you whether you're doing the restoration yourself or taking the boat to a facility to be restored by other professionals.
