Boat & Watercraft

Coverage for boats, jet skis, sailboats, and personal watercraft on Virginia waters and the Chesapeake Bay.

Watercraft policies cover three things your homeowners policy usually will not: liability while operating, hull and trailer damage, and on-water towing if the boat fails away from shore.

We write boats up through 50 feet, jet skis, sailboats, and personal watercraft. Uninsured-boater coverage is the underrated line item: many recreational boaters carry no liability at all, and your medical bills after a collision on the water are not covered by an auto or home policy.

Most boats are not in the water year-round in Virginia. We use lay-up season pricing so you are paying for storage when the boat is on the trailer or in the slip, not for active use.
