Alright y’all, let’s talk about watercrafts. When it comes to doing your insurance with us, you will get total coverage and total replacement in the event of an accident. Whereas with your typical policies, you will receive neither. And it doesn’t even stop there. You can also have coverage on any environmental damages such as fuel spills. This would not even be a thought with a typical policy on your watercraft.
Now to the fun stuff, such as, water skiing, wakeboarding, and any other water sport activities. ALL of these are included with liability and Med Pay coverage that would not be covered by typical policies with other carriers. Another potential problem that can be covered with us is unlimited roadside assistance. Picture this. You’re driving on Benders Ferry, so ready for your lake day with your family. Then all the sudden, you break down. Don’t worry! Even if the vehicle you are driving isn’t insured with us (it should be though!), we will cover the breakdown since we insure the boat is being towed! So, to all of you buying boats and any other watercraft, we are just one call away!
