|---|---|
| Is boat insurance required in Illinois? | Illinois does not require boat insurance by law, but most marinas require liability coverage and lenders require physical damage coverage on financed boats. Without it, you are personally responsible for damage or injuries you cause. |
| Does my homeowners policy cover my boat? | Usually only in a very limited way. Most home policies cover small boats with low limits and little or no liability on the water. A boat policy gives you full coverage for the boat, trailer and liability. |
| How much does boat insurance cost? | Rates depend on the boat’s type, value, length and horsepower, where it is used and stored, and your boating experience. Comparing multiple companies is the best way to find your rate. |
| What is agreed value vs. actual cash value? | Agreed value pays a set amount agreed upfront if the boat is totaled. Actual cash value pays the boat’s depreciated value at the time of the loss. We explain which each policy uses. |
| Is my boat trailer covered? | Trailer coverage can be added for physical damage. Liability while towing is generally covered by your auto policy. |
| Do you insure jet skis and personal watercraft? | Yes. We insure Sea-Doo, Yamaha WaveRunner, Kawasaki and other personal watercraft. |
| Does boat insurance cover water skiers and tubers? | Many policies include or offer coverage for injuries to people being towed. We confirm it is on your policy. |
| What do I need for a boat insurance quote? | The year, make, model, length, horsepower and value of the boat and motor, where it is used and stored, and your boating experience. |
