Know where you're covered. Markets we work with offer flexible navigation-from Ontario inland lakes to Canadian coasts, U.S. coastal waters, and even select blue‑water/offshore voyages (where eligible). We'll match the wording to your plans.
Whether you cruise, fish, sail, or tow wake, we'll tailor coverage for you, your passengers, and your watercraft-from runabouts and PWCs to sailboats and cruisers.

Unlike Actual Cash Value, Agreed Value settles a covered total loss at the value listed on your policy (minus deductible). Availability varies by age/value and underwriting.
Helps protect you if you're legally responsible for injury or property damage on the water. May include defense costs, salvage liability, and damage to others' property (limits vary).
Helps with medical expenses for you and your passengers (and often water‑skiers/tubers) after a covered accident, regardless of fault. Typical limits start around $5,000.
Helps repair or replace your boat, engines, permanently attached equipment, and trailer if stolen or damaged by a covered cause of loss.
If an uninsured or underinsured boater injures you, this coverage can help with treatment, lost income, and related costs (limits vary by market).
If your vessel sinks or is seriously damaged, you could be responsible for fuel/oil cleanup and wreck removal. Many marine policies address these exposures-ask about limits and conditions.
Coverage for items like foul‑weather gear, bedding, linens, and sporting gear kept on board (special limits apply; diving gear and fishing equipment may need separate limits or scheduling).
Items designed primarily for use on a boat but not permanently attached-e.g., life‑saving gear, anchors, oars, skis, extinguishers, tarps-subject to limits.
Helps cover reasonable towing costs to the nearest repair facility and certain emergency services (per policy wording).
Availability varies by insurer and vessel type. We'll show you the trade‑offs so you can choose confidently.
Surveys are common for older, larger, or higher‑value vessels, or after modifications. We can tell you if your chosen market requires one and what type.
Many policies specify dates when the boat must be laid up (not navigated). Tell us your planned season so the wording matches how you use the boat.
Often yes-by endorsement or temporary extension. Let us know your itinerary well in advance.
Recognized boating courses and clean experience may help. Having required safety equipment and good maintenance records is always wise.
Most pleasure‑use policies exclude rentals. Commercial/peer‑to‑peer charters require different wordings-ask us before listing.
Start with current market value including permanently installed equipment and typical gear. For Agreed Value eligibility, we may request a purchase invoice and/or recent survey.
