Boat Insurance
Accidents on the water are more common than you might think. In 2018, the U.S. Coast Guard counted 4,145 accidents, involving 633 deaths, 2,511 injuries and approximately $46 million dollars of damage to property as a result of recreational boating accidents. You can’t always see an accident coming. However, you can have a plan for how you’ll manage if something does happen. Part of this plan should be insurance.
