Civil liability
The liability policy will cover any bodily injury and property damage caused to a third party in the event of an incident.
Purchase financing
Keep in mind that if you are financing the purchase of your boat, your creditor will probably require liability insurance. They will also require that you insure the physical asset.
«agreed value»
This policy protects your boat at a value agreed upon by both you and your insurer. There will be no depreciation in case of total loss of your boat.
«Value on the day of the loss»
Compensation is calculated based on the cost of repair or replacement, minus the depreciation on the object or part.
Theft, vandalism and fire
Would you prefer to purchase comprehensive insurance? This will cover incidents such as theft or vandalism. In any case, make sure you are aware of the exclusions in order to make an informed decision.
Collision
Before you decide whether to insure your boat through your homeowners insurance, check to see if your homeowners insurance covers collision. This is not always the case, and you may want to purchase boat insurance to ensure that you are well protected.
Equipment and accessories
Protect your equipment and accessories such as your trailer, motor, sonar and more. Following an accident, you will benefit from a settlement based on the replacement value. No deductible applies.
Loss of use guarantee
If you lose the use of your boat in case of damage, we offer you a replacement boat up to the amount specified in the conditions of your contract, so you don’t miss out on the rest of the season!
General questions
FAQ
Is boat insurance mandatory?
In theory, boat insurance is not mandatory. However, it is a good idea to take out third- party liability insurance, as a minimum. Moreover, usually, in case of financing, the creditor will require it.
Is it better to purchase boat insurance than to add my boat to my home insurance?
Even if it is a vehicle, it is possible to cover your boat through your home insurance. However, take the time to understand what this means: it is mostly about civil liability coverage. Sometimes, fire, collision or theft may also be covered. But anything related to marine assistance or towing at sea, for example, will not be covered. Depending on your needs, you may want to purchase boat insurance. Depending of the level of horse power and boat length, you might have to get a separate insurance for your boat.

I plan to make some modifications to my boat. What should I do?
For any changes you may be considering, you must first inform your insurance broker. This will ensure that you always have the right coverage for your boat. Plus, your insurance may in fact cover certain types of modifications!
