Sailing or cruising is not without any danger, and you will not
be able to acquire a boating insurance that will ensure you will
not suffer from accidents or possible damages. Boating insurance
will only protect you from monetary losses in case of accident
while onboard your boat or theft of your boat.
Boating insurance will also cover your boat against liability
losses. Any damage to another boat or the boating dock and even
for bodily injury or death to another person coming from the use
of the boat is also covered by your boating insurance.
Boating insurance also covers people on board the vessel
provided the person is not a crew of the vessel.
It may be worthy to mention at this time that the coverage of
the boat against physical loss or damages needs to come from
external causes. If somebody who works on the boat causes the
damage, the boating insurance will need to establish that the
damage is not intentional before it even considers the claim as
valid.
As mentioned before, the insurance coverage for third party
injuries may only affect those who are not crewmembers or
employees of the boatyard.
If the injury happens to a crewmember, then the Federal
Long shore and Harbor Worker's Compensation Act must apply. The example of those people who get onboard that are not member
of the crew would
be mechanics, carpenters, painters, and most
importantly, guests. They are protected from injury while
boarding or getting off the boat.

Theft is a huge problem and
therefore the
boat insurance will protect your prized possession from these thugs. Also make
sure that you are fully aware of what is written in the boating insurance policy
to ensure that you understand the liabilities and the
coverage that will fit the need and the use of your boat.
Remember that there are always fine print to deal
with, therefore familiarize yourself with that. The insurance companies
always have terms and conditions that will ensure they will not pay
your coverage. Scrutinize the contract a bit to ensure you will
continue to enjoy the services of your boat for as long as possible
without having to call on the insurance company for any reason.
