Whether you own a center console, sailboat, or luxury yacht, proper marine insurance provides protection both on the water and at the dock. Understanding your coverage options ensures you're fully protected:
Covers physical damage to your boat from collision, storm damage, fire, theft, and vandalism. Agreed value policies pay the full insured amount for total losses without depreciation.
Protects you financially when you're responsible for injuring others or damaging their property while operating your vessel. Essential coverage for any boat owner.
Covers medical expenses for you and your passengers injured in boating accidents, regardless of fault. Provides immediate coverage without litigation.
Protects you when injured by another boater who lacks adequate insurance. Similar to uninsured motorist coverage for automobiles.
Covers fishing equipment, electronics, water sports gear, and other personal property aboard your vessel. Separate limits available for high-value items.
Covers costs when your boat needs emergency towing, fuel delivery, jump starts, or soft ungrounding. Essential for anyone who ventures offshore.

Boating in Eastern North Carolina presents unique opportunities and challenges. Understanding regional factors helps ensure proper coverage:
From the Neuse River to the Atlantic Ocean, Eastern NC boaters navigate diverse conditions. Coverage should address both protected waters and offshore exposure based on your cruising patterns.
Summer and fall bring tropical weather threats. Proper boat insurance includes coverage for named storms, and your policy should address haul-out requirements and layup provisions during hurricane season.
Eastern NC's mild climate allows extended boating seasons. Policies should reflect actual usage patterns rather than assuming northern seasonal limitations.
Whether stored at a marina, dry stack, or your property, boats face different risks. Coverage should address your specific storage situation including trailer storage at home.
Agreed value coverage pays the full insured amount for total losses. We help you establish accurate valuations that reflect your boat's true worth, including upgrades and equipment.
