When it comes to any type of vehicle, even watercraft, it is necessary to have some form of insurance coverage in place for a few different reasons. The first and most obvious reason is that in the event of an accident or damage to your boat you do not want to be responsible for paying all the repair costs and getting your boat seaworthy again.

Unlike car insurance that you might get from an auto insurance company, boat insurance mainly covers the cost of repair of the boat in the event of any damage. It does not necessarily cover the medical bills of you or anyone else that is injured in an accident. If you are located in Coppell, TX the helpful agents at The Select Insurance Agency can help you determine what level of coverage you need to keep your boat safe.

In most cases, boat insurance is simply in place to help you protect your investment. Just like cars that have a loan out on them are required to have full coverage, your lender is likely to require full coverage of your watercraft if you still have a loan out on it for a few reasons. First and foremost they want to be able to recover their investment in the case of an accident or in the case of damage to the boat.

Your insurance coverage will help cover repair costs and will help make sure you have the ability to repair and get your boat back on the water in the event of damage. Some policies may also cover damage caused by other people like intentional damage or defacement and destruction by others. You can always ask your agent what your policy covers and what is right for you.
