Importance of Marine Insurance

Your vessel is a specialized investment that faces unique risks on the water and in storage. Accidents happen beyond our control, from sudden storms to underwater hazards. Having the right coverage is essential because it provides:

  • Liability Security: It protects your assets from high legal costs if you accidentally injure others or damage property while boating.
  • Hull Protection: Stratis Insurance ensures you have a solid financial safety net for repairing your vessel’s hull, machinery, and equipment.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing your vessel is secure, whether moored or in transit, allows you the freedom to focus on the adventure.

    FAQ

    What is the difference between Agreed Value and Actual Cash Value?

    Agreed Value guarantees that in the event of a total loss, you receive the insured amount stated on the policy without depreciation. Actual Cash Value considers the current market value, factoring in depreciation. Stratis Insurance educates you on which option best secures your investment.

    Are my navigational limits restricted?

    Yes. Marine policies specify the geographical areas where you are covered to operate. Operating outside these limits can void coverage. Stratis Insurance ensures you are educated on your specific navigational boundaries and can arrange extensions for longer trips if necessary.

    Does my policy cover me while towing water skiers?

    Standard marine policies often include liability coverage for water sports, but there may be specific conditions or limits regarding the observers and safety equipment required. Stratis Insurance seeks to remove myths and provide clear direction on safe and insured water sport activities.

    Is my boat covered during the winter?

    Coverage usually continues during the lay-up (winter storage) period, provided the vessel is properly winterized and stored according to policy conditions. Failure to properly winterize can lead to excluded damage (like freezing). Stratis Insurance ensures you know the maintenance expectations.

    Does marine insurance cover vermin damage?

    Damage caused by raccoons, otters, or other vermin is a common exclusion in standard marine policies. However, some comprehensive plans offer specific endorsements. Stratis Insurance ensures you are educated on all necessary coverages and potential limitations regarding animal damage.

    Is my fishing equipment and personal gear covered?

    Most marine policies provide a specific limit for “Personal Effects” (clothing, gear) and unattached equipment. However, high-value fishing gear or electronics may require higher limits. Stratis Insurance advisors create a personalized plan, ensuring all your equipment is accounted for.
