Some tips to save on your next boat insurance policy
Navigate carefully
A great way to save on your boat insurance is to sail carefully. Avoiding rough waterways during bad weather or when the wind is too strong could prevent making claims on your insurance policy.
Get a few different quotes
It’s no secret. To save money on insurance, you should shop around and get quotes from several companies. Using a price comparison tool is a great way to save money while ensuring you find the best insurance for your needs.
Combine your insurance products
Did you know that most insurers will provide considerable discounts if you consolidate all your insurance with the same carrier? Moreover, many may ask you to insure your boat and your home in the same place to offer you insurance. Ask about the possibility of grouping everything together, as you could save money.
Keep your training up-to-date
A well-trained captain is likely to claim less often in the eyes of insurers. Several companies offer boat refresher training to licensed operators. Make sure you continually improve your nautical knowledge and keep your insurer informed in case it helps to reduce your premium.
