What does boat insurance protect me against?
A Boatowners Policy can insure you against most risks of owning and operating your boat, its motor and its trailer. Just as importantly, it can protect you against liability lawsuits, should you injure someone with your boat or damage their property.

What questions should I ask my State Farm agent about boat insurance?

Are my trailer and boating supplies covered? Do I get discounts for completing boating safety courses? Which ones? Am I covered for both inland and ocean boating? Are there any unique exclusions or exceptions in my state/area? Are younger operators covered? Will I receive the actual cash value or replacement cost if my boat is totaled? What payment options are available?
