🛥️ FAQ Friday: Can I use my boat for watersports?

➡️ If you're hoping to use your boat for watersports you will need to make sure to check if watersports liability is included in your policy!

Some boat insurance providers in Canada don't offer this coverage, while others may only provide it for certain types of vessels. Always confirm whether this protection applies to you and your boat. Additionally, review the insurance limits for this coverage.

We recommend carrying at least $1,000,000 in coverage, though $3,000,000 is preferable for greater peace of mind.

✔️ Check your distress signals/flares and confirm they are not expired
✔️ Ensure there are properly fitting lifejackets for everyone onboard
✔️ Carry life rings and a fully stocked first aid kit
✔️ Inspect and adjust any compasses as needed
✔️ Test your navigation lights
✔️ Review your charts and replace outdated versions if necessary

This one of the most important reminders we can share is the importance of protecting yourself and everyone aboard your boat by wearing a properly fitted lifejacket.

Here are a few quick tips to make sure a lifejacket fits correctly:

🛟 Check the lifejackets tag for sizing information, including weight limits and chest size recommendations.

🛟 Inspect the lifejacket for any rips, tears, or damage, and make sure all buckles and straps fasten securely.

🛟 Try the arm test - raise your arms (or your child’s arms) above your head. If the lifejacket rides up significantly, it’s too large.

According to , wearing a lifejacket is one of the simplest and most effective ways to stay safe on the water - yet not wearing one continues to be a leading factor in drowning incidents. Whether you’re fishing, kayaking, cruising, or enjoying a day at the cottage, wearing a lifejacket can save lives.

The best days on the water are the ones that end safely back at the dock. Here’s to a safe and enjoyable boating season ahead.
