CoverCorps' Boat Insurance
Fast and friendly "A" level boating insurance
At CoverCorps' we have partnered with a number of "A" rated insurers that specialize in Boat Insurance.
We provide Boat owners with the security that their watercraft will be covered but we also provide additional coverages
to protect your belongings and liability insurance to protect against any mishaps that may occur.
Our Products
Our Insurance carriers provide coverage for a number of different Usage Classifications.
- Pleasure Boat - our carriers cover boats that are used for pleasure or client entertainment.
- Liveaboard Boat - liveaboard coverage is available that provides coverage for bodily injury, property damage,
personal injury, personal effects, and medical payments while off the insured boat.
- Multi-owner/Fractional Boats - a yacht with more than three parties that have ownership interest. For fractional ownership, the named insured will often be a
corporation which manages the usage and maintenance.
- Limited Charter - coverage is available for owners that utilize their boat in a limited captained charter capacity.
- Bareboat - our carriers cover boats that are chartered for a specific duration without skipper or crew. Under a bareboat arrangement,
the insurance benefits pass through to the charterer.

CoverCorps provides excellent protection from our "A" rated partners. We offer customized coverages for runabouts
to charter fleets. We also provide additional coverages for trailers, boat lifts, boat houses, trip coverage,
emergency expense reimbursement, tournament fee reimbursement, and a liveaboard endorsement. See below to learn more.
