pontoon, boat insurance

One of the fastest growing trends in recreational boating is the pontoon boat. They’re an excellent value utility boat that is great for just relaxing on the water or even spending the day fishing. Many insurance carriers are recognizing the unique risks that come with a pontoon boat versus other personal watercraft. As a response to the growing needs of pontoon boat owners some insurers are even offering special pontoon boat endorsements (for pontoon and tritoon boats no more than 10 years of age at the time the policy is purchased) to make sure their customers are covered when they need it most.

Added coverages can include:

  • Pontoon Replacement Coverage — In the event a pontoon is punctured, creased, holed, or dented; it will be replaced with a new pontoon.
  • Waiver of Depreciation — Applies to protective covers, cushions, carpeting and upholstery.
  • Extra Coverage for Damage — Potentially caused by vermin and or marine life.
  • Rental Reimbursement — Up to $1000 per occurrence.
