Boat Insurance Gotchas

Boat insurance can be a very dull subject, but when a hurricane is headed your way, or if you are buying your first boat, then you should probably give some thought to your boat insurance policy - or think about getting one if your boat isn't covered.

While we're on the subject, BoatU.S. just released a short (under five-minutes) video about boat insurance that is worth watching. Sure, we cover many of the basics of boat insurance on FirstBoat, but this video covers a few "gotcha's" or things to look for when it comes to marine insurance, including:

Why your knowledge of home or auto insurance won't help you one bit when buying boat insurance.

Why you should go home tonight to check your own boat's insurance policy for "Consequential Property Damage" coverage.

How the "Salvage Squeeze" could end up costing you a bunch of extra money.

Now, enjoy the video...
