Spent a couple of weeks comparing quotes on coverage for our boat before the season. The first thing I learned: the cheapest quote often hides a pile of exclusions. Look at agreed value vs actual cash value — on an ACV policy, depreciation eats your claim after a total loss. If the boat is older, expect the insurer to ask for a recent survey. The hard part is the policy language, so I found a clear breakdown here: [url=https://yacht-insurance.net]yacht insurance[/url] — it covers the main coverage options without the sales talk. Then check the navigation limits: going past the listed waters can get a claim denied. On the East Coast and the Gulf, the named storm deductible is often a percentage of hull value, not a flat amount. Don’t skimp on liability either — wreck removal and damage to other boats can cost more than the boat itself. Compare two or three carriers and go through the exclusions before you sign.
