Boat Property Protection
In the water, in transit or in storage, your boat, including manufacturer’s installed equipment and outboard motor, is protected against most accidental damage or losses.
For sailboats, our policy covers sails, spars and rigging. American Family boat insurance policies also cover:
- Emergency Services
- Protective Repairs
- Recovery
- Hurricane Emergency Removal Coverage (only in Georgia)
You automatically receive up to $1,000 per item and $3,000 total to cover boating equipment, including accessories of the insured watercraft that are not installed by the manufacturer. Additional coverage may also be purchased.
Boat Insurance Liability Coverage
Our boat insurance coverage can give you peace of mind by helping protect you and relatives residing in your household in case of liability injuries or property damage involving your craft.
Our supplementary protection includes the following at no additional cost:
- Named Additional Insured
- Claim and Defense Expenses
- Emergency First Aid
- Pollution Damage (only in Georgia and Washington)
Additional Coverage Options
To meet your unique needs, American Family Insurance offers optional endorsements covering personal effects, clothing, fishing equipment and repair costs (without a deduction for depreciation, within policy limits).
Underinsured and uninsured boater coverage, and coverage of the agreed value limit you select for your watercraft in the event of a covered total loss, are available in Georgia and Washington.
