Before requesting a boat insurance
quote, there are some boat
insurance information that you should know. Boat
insurance and
yacht insurance provides coverage for any physical
damage to the boat if it is accidentally damaged or
destroyed such as collision, fire, theft, vandalism and
storm damage. There are two types of physical coverage
that you can get depending on your boat insurance needs.
The two basic types of physical coverage are Actual
Cash value (ACV) and Agreed Amount value (AAV).
Actual Cash Value insurance is a policy that
covers the replacement cost of the boat less the
depreciation at the time of the loss. If the boat is
totalled, pricing books are used to determine the
approximate book value of the boat. In event of a
partial loss, the amount of total money received by your
insurance provided is calculated by the total cost of
the damage minus the deductible.
Agreed Amount Value allows you to have a set
agreement with your boat insurance company on the total money
value of the boat. In case of an accident, the insurance
provider will provide the specified amount of money that
was agreed to in the boat or mega yacht insurance
policy. To insure the value of your boat and equipment,
the agreed insurance value is generally the cost of
these items minus an allowance for depreciation
depending upon the age of the boat. For an additional
premium, it is worthwhile purchasing a Waiver of
Depreciation so that the insurance coverage will settle
your claim for loss or damages without reducing it due
to depreciation.
You need to select a liability limit, generally from
$100,000 to $500,000, to cover theft, cost of repairs,
removal of wreck, property damage and spilled fuel
clean-up and disposal. Obtain an instant boat insurance
quote for each coverage level and select the most
coverage you can afford, especially if you have
extensive personal assets that you could be sued for.
Liability coverage can also pay attorney costs to defend
you against claims.
