Things To Consider

Navigational Area

Know where you are covered in the water. Some insurance companies offer protection that covers you up to 75 miles from the U.S. coastline, into Canadian coastal or inland waters, and into the Pacific coastal waters of Mexico. In California, Florida and Oregon, coverage for additional areas can be purchased.

Agreed Value Coverage

Watercrafts depreciate just like cars. Actual cash value policies can make it difficult to replace a boat that has been stolen or destroyed. This means that if your boat is a total loss you will get the value you insured it for, minus any deductible.

Liability

Like car insurance, personal liability coverage provides coverage to other boaters and boat owners in the event you are at-fault for an accident on the water. This coverage will pay to repair or replace the property of someone else as well as for their medical care, lost wages, and other costs incurred as a result of a boating accident for which you are at-fault.

Medical Payments

Medical payments coverage will pay for the cost of needed care that is the result of a boating accident. This coverage is available from $500 to $10,000 and covers you, your passengers, and even your water skiers/tubers, regardless of who is at-fault.

Physical Damage Coverage

Physical damage coverage pays for the cost to repair or replace your watercraft, its motor, any permanently attached equipment, and your trailer if it is stolen or damaged.

Fuel Spill Liability and Wreckage Removal

Should your boat sink or be seriously damaged, there is a chance that it could leak oil or fuel into the water. As the boat’s owner, you are required by law to have this cleaned up, which can be time consuming and expensive.

Personal Effects

Your policy can provide coverage for many personal effects, including clothing, jewelry, cell phones, scuba/snorkeling and other sporting equipment, and fishing equipment. Limits vary by state, so check with us for what's required in South Carolina. Personal effects coverage does not include jewelry, watches or furs.

Unattached Equipment Coverage

This pays to repair or replace equipment that isn’t permanently attached to your boat or personal watercraft, but is designed for use primarily on a boat. This includes items like lifesaving equipment, water skis, anchors, oars, fire extinguishers, tarps, etc.

Emergency Assistance

The Emergency Assistance Package provides coverage for towing, labor and delivery of gas, oil or loaned battery if the watercraft is disabled while on the water.

Any questions?

I greatly appreciate when my agent shops around for the best deal for me. I genuinely feel they have my best interests in mind. I really like it when I can speak to an actual human not just some automated system and recap my coverage once a year.

The quotes and savings they found for me are amazing. The return calls are prompt. The insurance broker makes everything easy to understand. When I changed policy carriers the broker also made it easy and not stressful. I love you SCIB!!!!!

Unfortunately I had water damage in my home and I felt that the staff did an outstanding job and were also sympathetic to the fact I just had my home ruined. Attention was very prompt and respectful!

Frances McLaughlin

You reach out to ME when it’s time for a review. It’s easy to talk to someone when I have questions. You do the insurance comparisons for me so I don’t have to contact everyone about rate.
