Boat Insurance

[denpooch]

Can you provide me with any recommendations for an insurance policy broker?
My current provider no longer covers boats and I have yet to hear back from my broker.
Thanks,
Dennis

I currently use Markel insurance, I've also had Boat US in the past.

Try State Farm.

Did you try Boat U/S? I think they usually use Geico, but not 100% sure in all cases.

I've also had Progressive and was fine with that coverage.

Thanks.

My experience with State Farm was just about as bad as it gets. Too long of a story to go into here, but I wasn't impressed.

I ended up going through www.nboat.com and got fast service, a great policy, fewer restrictions and a very competitive price. This was for an "agreed value" policy - not "actual cash value" which some will try to get you into.

Good luck!

I am in Canada, so take it for what it's worth. Nauticlife through Aviva has a good policy. Agreed Value is what you are wanting. Check the personal effects amount & deductible. I had one quote that was going to have a $5800 deductible on my $58,000 boat! Also check to see if vermin are covered.

Just an observation....seems to me the litmus test for insurance is when you have a claim/loss, how was it handled and did you get what you gambled on.
Lots of fine print reading......

I have Progressive, but through an agent in lieu of online. I had a significant claim 4 years ago, and they were great! Just go to their online page and search for an agent in your area. er
