Boat and Marine Insurance in South Florida

Owning a boat in Florida should feel relaxing, not risky. Getting boat insurance helps protect your vessel, your guests, and your finances when the unexpected happens on the water.

At Fulton Agency, we help boaters across South Florida compare coverage for boats, yachts, and other watercraft. We work with top carriers to match you with protection that fits your lifestyle so you can head out with confidence.

Why Boat Insurance Matters in Florida

Living near the water is one of the best parts of South Florida, but it also comes with a number of risks. From crowded marinas to hurricane season, the right marine insurance coverage types can make a big difference when something goes wrong.

Depending on the carrier and plan you choose, your policy may offer:

  • Physical damage coverage for your boat, motor, and equipment
  • Liability and comprehensive boat coverage for injuries or property damage you cause to others
  • Medical payments for you and your passengers
  • Uninsured watercraft coverage
  • Wreck removal and fuel spill liability
  • Emergency towing and assistance

We explain your options in simple terms and help you choose coverage that fits your vessel, your plans, and your budget.

Frequently asked questions

Boat Insurance FAQs

What does boat insurance cover?

Policies can include hull coverage for physical damage to your vessel, liability and comprehensive boat coverage for injuries or damage you cause to others, medical payments, and more. We help you choose the coverage that fits your boat and how you use it.

Is boat insurance required in Florida?

Florida law does not require boat insurance for every vessel, but many marinas, lenders, and storage facilities do. Even when it is not required, coverage is strongly recommended to protect your boat and your liability on the water.

How much does boat insurance cost?

The average boat insurance cost depends on your vessel type, value, engine size, where you keep it, and how far you travel. We review factors that affect boat insurance premiums so you understand how each choice impacts your price.

Does my homeowners policy cover my boat?

Some homeowners policies offer limited protection for smaller boats, but this is often restricted by size, horsepower, and where you operate the vessel. A dedicated policy usually provides broader protection and better marine insurance coverage types.

Are hurricanes covered under my boat policy?

Many policies can include coastal and hurricane related boat coverage, but details vary by carrier. We help you review hurricane deductibles, haul out provisions, and any requirements your policy may have before or after a storm.

Can I insure a jet ski or other small watercraft?

Yes. We can help with insurance for small watercraft, including personal watercraft and similar boats. Coverage can protect both the craft itself and your liability while riding.
