Fishing boat insurance questions, answered
Is it worth insuring a small fishing boat?
Many owners do, especially for liability and theft. Your boat's value, your marina or lender and your risk tolerance all matter.
Does it cover my trailer and motor?
Often, but limits vary. Ask for each item separately.
Will my insurer cover me if I fish in saltwater?
Usually. Tell your agent where you fish so the policy fits.
