Your vessel's value doesn't stay static. Neither should your coverage.

Modifications, wear, new equipment — a lot can change over a season. Before your boat goes into storage is the right time to make sure your policy still reflects what it's actually worth.

A full season on the water takes a toll. September is the right time to find out what it cost.

Hull wear, electrical issues, safety gear past its service date — these are the things a pre-storage inspection catches before they become bigger problems. And if something goes wrong later, documented maintenance matters to your insurer.

Owning a yacht is one of life’s great privileges; it’s an investment that pays dividends in experience. But protecting that investment takes more than good seamanship. It takes a disciplined maintenance routine, and regular inspections are at the heart of it. Here’s why inspections matter, and...

The season is winding down. Your coverage review shouldn't wait until next spring.

Where your vessel is stored, how it's secured, whether your policy still reflects its current value — these are the details that matter before it goes out of the water, not after.

Summer status: still going. 🌊

We're not ready to let it go yet, and honestly, neither should you. Fill the last few weekends with everything you didn't get to — the trip, the sandbar, the sunset run.

What's on your list before the season wraps? 👇

If you're considering a purchase after this season's boat shows — a sea trial is not optional.

It's the single best opportunity to understand what you're actually buying. How a vessel performs at the dock and how it performs underway are two very different things — and so is how it's covered before and after the sale closes.

A few years ago, a parolee scaled the security gate at San Diego’s Marriott Marina and boarded an unattended 80-foot cabin cruiser, freeing it from its slip. The runaway yacht drifted into a neighboring vessel, and the owner suffered a head injury and fell into the water trying to fend it off. At the same time, another quick-thinking boater looped a line from his dinghy to hold the stolen yacht in place until Harbor Police arrived. The suspect was arrested and held on $50,000 bail.

It’s a good reminder that yacht theft isn’t just a property risk — it can put other boaters in harm’s way, too. That’s exactly why theft and third-party liability coverage matter as much as the lock on your cabin door.
