The Best Boat Insurance Prevents Sunken Finances

Did you know that Maryland does not require you to have boat insurance to navigate their waters?

Huff Insurance strongly recommends that you protect yourself with the proper boat insurance coverage before you hit the waterways.

Imagine, after enjoying a beautiful Maryland day out on the Chesapeake Bay with your family and friends, you’re on your way back to the dock at your house in Pasadena, Maryland, taking a route you’ve traveled hundreds of times before.  Suddenly, your boat strikes a channel marker, which tears into the side of the boat, throwing your passengers to the floor, leaving them hurt and dazed.

The Coast Guard arrives in time to prevent the sinking of the boat, but it is obvious that the boat is a total loss. And to make matters worse, several of your passengers are injured and need medical attention. This is not the time to wonder if you have the best boat insurance plan in place.

This is a true story that  happened to one of our clients.  He has been boating on the Chesapeake Bay for over 20 years.  Even the most experienced boaters can have a momentary lapse in concentration that could result in devastating damages.

In the blink of an eye, they went from enjoying a great day on the water, to scrambling for life jackets and trying to survive.

With Huff Insurance as their agent, they could be assured that they had the best boat insurance coverage for this accident.

Most boating accidents actually happen on inland waterways or in shallow coastal waters.  And, believe it or not, some of them even happen on dry land!

Why Boat Insurance?

If you own a boat or other watercraft, you need the best boat insurance protection.  Not only against damage to your vessel and equipment but also for medical treatment, damage to others and their property, and liabilities to passengers.

It’s not uncommon for boat owners to face legal suits for sums hugely more than the value of their own boats.

You also need protection against the risk of theft. Thousands of boats are stolen every year and less than half are recovered.

Huff Insurance has provided that protection for boating enthusiasts for decades. We have both the experience and expertise to create cost-effective insurance plans that take account of your particular needs and budget.

For instance:

• We’ll tell you which aspects of your boating activities are already protected under your existing home insurance or auto insurance.
• We can save you money by identifying discounts based on how much you can afford to pay out of your own pocket, how often you sail, and where the boat is moored or stored.
• Our plans cover bodily injury, property damage, guest passenger liability, medical payment and theft. Liability protection ranges from $100,000 to $1,000,000 or more with the addition of an umbrella insurance policy.
• We can arrange additional protection for trailers and other accessories.
