Liability coverage for boats
Boat liability insurance covers you if your boat causes injuries to third parties or damages to other boats, docks, or structures. Injuries or damages can result from direct contact with your boat or situations caused by your boat, such as large wakes. Boat liability coverage can provide protection against lawsuits, including the payment of settlements and legal fees.
