Boat Insurance for NC & SC Watercraft Owners
From mountain lakes to Upstate SC reservoirs, our region offers plenty of opportunities to get on the water. Turner Insurance helps boat owners find the right coverage to protect their watercraft, their passengers, and themselves.
Many homeowners assume their boat is covered under their homeowners policy. In most cases, homeowners policies provide very limited coverage for watercraft — typically only for small boats with low-horsepower motors, and often only while the boat is on your property. A dedicated boat insurance policy provides broader protection on and off the water.
Coverage Options to Consider
Liability Coverage
May cover bodily injury and property damage you cause to others while operating your boat. This is a core component of most boat insurance policies.
Physical Damage Coverage
May cover damage to your boat, motor, and trailer from collision, fire, theft, vandalism, and other covered perils.
Medical Payments
May help cover medical expenses for you and your passengers if injured while on the boat, regardless of fault.
Uninsured Watercraft
May provide coverage if you are involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured boater.
On-Water Towing
Some policies include or offer coverage for emergency towing and assistance if your boat breaks down on the water.
Personal Property
May cover fishing equipment, electronics, and other personal property kept on the boat, depending on the policy.
