Boat Insurance

Protect your watercraft, your passengers, and your liability on the water, at the dock, in storage, and while travelling. Whether it's a personal watercraft, a fishing boat, a sailboat, or an express cruiser, your boat is a major investment and a major liability exposure.

We insure all kinds of boats

Personal Watercraft (Jet Ski, Sea-Doo)

Personal Watercraft (Jet Ski, Sea-Doo)

Fast, fun, and high exposure. We structure coverage for liability, theft, transport, and damage, plus the right options for new units and financed purchases.

Fishing Boats and Runabouts

Fishing Boats and Runabouts

From aluminum fishing boats to family runabouts, we tailor coverage around usage, trailer transport, seasonal storage, and accessories like electronics and trolling motors.

Sailboats and Cruisers

Sailboats and Cruisers

Higher values, more systems, and more moorage and storage considerations. We'll build the policy around hull value, equipment, tender coverage, and liability.

Coverage Options That Matter

01
Liability and Passenger Protection

Liability and Passenger Protection

Liability is often the biggest exposure, especially with passengers, towing, and busy waterways. We typically quote $1M as a baseline and strongly recommend $2M because the price difference is often modest relative to the added protection.

02
Physical Damage (Hull and Machinery)

Physical Damage (Hull and Machinery)

Covers damage to your watercraft from accidents, impacts, storms, and other covered causes, subject to your deductible and policy terms. This is core coverage for newer and higher-value boats.

03
Theft, Fire, and Vandalism

Theft, Fire, and Vandalism

Boats are frequently targeted in driveways, marinas, and storage yards. We'll ensure your policy addresses theft, fire, vandalism, and storage-related losses with sensible limits.

04
Travel, Territory, and U.S. Exposure

Travel, Territory, and U.S. Exposure

Not every policy provides the same coverage outside Ontario or outside Canada. Some policies restrict coverage in certain U.S. states, and travel plans can affect eligibility and claims response. If you plan to trailer your boat out of the country, talk to your broker before you go.

Key Things to Know

01
Avoid coverage gaps

Avoid coverage gaps

Storage arrangements, moorage contracts, financing, and travel can create specific insurance requirements. We'll confirm what you need and make sure your policy matches.

02
Factors influencing pricing

Factors influencing pricing

Where you operate, how long your season is, theft risk, storage method, and boating experience can all influence premiums and eligibility.

03
Confirm coverage before you cross the border

Confirm coverage before you cross the border

Some policies restrict coverage in certain U.S. states or outside Canada. If you are trailering out of country, we'll confirm your policy territory and fix any gaps before your trip.

Home insurance can provide limited coverage in some situations, but it is not a substitute for proper liability and physical damage coverage for boating. We'll structure the correct policy.

Sometimes it is, sometimes it is limited. We confirm whether the trailer is insured, how theft is treated, and whether the trailer needs its own coverage.

Most serious boating losses involve passenger injury or third-party damage, not just damage to your boat. We help you choose limits that fit the real exposure.
