  • More Than Just a Boat Policy

    We coordinate marine coverage with your homeowners, umbrella, and auto insurance for seamless protection — especially for waterfront properties.

  • Trusted Carriers. Local Advisors. Flexible Limits.

    We work with top-rated marine insurers and help you understand what’s required, what’s recommended, and how to stay protected.

Common Questions

  • Is boat insurance required in California?

    Not by state law, but many marinas require it — and it’s strongly recommended to protect your vessel and liability.

  • Does homeowners insurance cover my boat?

    Only to a very limited extent. We recommend separate watercraft coverage to ensure full protection.

  • Do I need flood insurance for a waterfront home?

    Most likely. Standard home policies do not cover flooding — and properties near water are at higher risk.
