Spent about two weeks shopping for coverage for our boat before the season. The first thing I learned: a low premium usually hides gaps in coverage. Check agreed value vs actual cash value — with ACV, depreciation cuts your claim after a total loss. If the boat is older, be ready for the insurer to ask for a recent survey. Most of the confusion comes from the policy language, so I found a clear breakdown here: https://yacht-insurance.net — it covers the main policy terms without the sales talk. Then check the navigation limits: going past the listed waters can get a claim denied. In hurricane country, the named storm deductible is often a percentage of hull value, not a flat amount. Don't skimp on liability either — wreck removal and damage to other boats can exceed the value of the boat itself. Get at least three quotes and go through the exclusions before you pay.
