Why Boat Insurance is More Than Just Another Policy
There’s nothing quite like the freedom of open water—the wind in your hair, the sun on your face, and your boat gliding across the waves. But just like with cars, things can go wrong. Storms roll in, engines fail, and accidents happen. That’s where San Clemente Insurance Agency steps in with boat insurance that protects your vessel and your peace of mind.
Whether you’re cruising a lake, navigating the coastline, or casting a line at your favorite fishing hole, boat insurance gives you the confidence to fully enjoy the ride. It's not just about covering damage—it's about protecting your lifestyle, your family, and your investment.

What Does Boat Insurance Cover?
We believe in clarity and simplicity. Here’s what you can expect from a solid boat insurance policy with San Clemente Insurance Agency:
| Coverage Type | What It Protects |
|---|---|
| Physical Damage | Your boat, trailer, motor, and equipment from accidents, theft, vandalism, or weather events. |
| Liability | If you're responsible for damage or injuries to others, this protects your finances and legal standing. |
| Uninsured Boater | Covers you if another boater hits you and they don't have insurance. Unfortunately, it happens. |
| Medical Payments | Pays for injuries to you or your passengers, regardless of fault. |
| Towing & Assistance | Get help on the water when your boat breaks down or runs aground—without massive fees. |
Is Boat Insurance Required?
Great question! In many states, boat insurance isn’t legally required for personal watercraft. But if you finance your boat or dock it at a marina, coverage may be mandatory. And let’s be honest—when you’ve invested thousands into your boat and your adventures, why leave it unprotected?
Boat insurance from San Clemente Insurance Agency offers smart protection that follows you wherever the water takes you, whether that’s lakes, rivers, bays, or even coastal waters.
What Affects Your Boat Insurance Rate?
No two boats—or boaters—are exactly alike. Your premium is based on a mix of personal and vessel-specific factors. Here's a quick look:
| Factor | How It Affects Premiums |
|---|---|
| Boat Type & Size | Larger or high-performance boats cost more to insure. |
| Usage | Is it for fishing, cruising, or racing? Risk varies. |
| Value of the Boat | The higher the value, the more it costs to insure. |
| Operator’s Experience | More experience and boating courses can lower your rate. |
| Location | Freshwater? Coastal? Risk of storms and theft changes. |
