Preparing a Strong Boat or Yacht Insurance Submission

In today’s marine insurance environment, working with a knowledgeable marine advisor is essential.

Key Elements Include:

  • Boating resume outlining experience, certifications, and operating history
  • Record of prior boat ownership, navigation areas, and similar experience
  • Paid captain and crew resumes, if applicable

  • Absentee owner plan, if the boat will be left unattended
  • Maintenance and service records
  • Safety and claims history
  • Personal insurance portfolio, if packaged with your marine policy
