Sailboat insurance

Sailboat insurance in Florida

Sailboat insurance covers the hull, rigging, sails and auxiliary engine, plus liability. Older boats commonly need a marine survey, and racing may need a separate endorsement.

What underwriters usually ask

  • Age, length, construction and a recent survey for older boats
  • Cruising area and navigation limits
  • Racing involvement, including club races
  • Where the boat is moored or stored

Sails and rigging

Check how sails, rigging and electronics are valued and whether wind damage while racing is included.

Coverage depends on the policy, the insurance company and underwriting approval.

Common questions

Do I need a survey?
