A hurricane is approaching

Risk:

The marina where you dock your cabin cruiser is in the path of an approaching hurricane — you want to get it out of the water and hauled to a safe location as soon as possible. 

Coverage:

Plus and Elite packages both help with the cost of professional haul-out when a hurricane or tropical storm threatens your boat — up to $500 with Plus or $2,000 with Elite.

Your motorboat breaks down

Risk:

Your motorboat stalls in the middle of the lake — and won’t restart. You’re not sure what went wrong, but you need help right now.

Coverage:

Optional coverage may help with the cost of emergency labor where your boat is disabled — or a tow to the nearest location where repairs can be made. The Elite package may also cover the cost of gas, oil or a battery, if needed.

You want protection in the Bahamas

Boat icon

Risk:

You decide to fulfill a lifelong dream of sailing to the Bahamas for a few weeks of relaxation.
