Insurance Jargon Can Be Even More Confusing Than Nautical Terms

We know the language used by the insurance industry can be confusing. That’s why we want to make sure that you clearly understand your options and know precisely what you’re paying for. Here are the terms we use. (Most policies are a combination of several of these coverages.)

These protect you and other people

Broad Form Liability Coverage

This coverage helps to protect you from expenses related to injuries or property damage you or your watercraft cause in an accident. Some policy’s also cover certain accidental fuel spill liabilities and wreckage removal. When choosing liability coverage, consider how much money you make and the property you own. Your liability coverage should be high enough to protect you if you are sued after an accident.

Medical Coverage

This coverage provides for necessary medical expenses for you and your passengers that are the result of an accident. People who frequently carry a boat full of passengers often carry a higher amount.

These protect your boat or personal watercraft

Physical Damage Coverage

This typically pays to repair the damage done to your watercraft due to an accident. It also generally pays to repair or replace your watercraft for insured situations such as theft, fire, vandalism or other non-collision damages that occur in or out of the water.

Unattached Equipment Coverage

This pays to repair or replace equipment that isn’t permanently attached to your boat or personal watercraft. This includes items like life jackets and water-skis.

Emergency Assistance Coverage

This pays for the cost of towing or emergency service.
