BOAT INSURANCE · GEORGIA

Georgia boat insurance for lake, river, and coastal use.

Georgia has over 425,000 registered watercraft. A standard homeowners policy excludes most watercraft above a small horsepower threshold. Dedicated boat insurance covers physical damage, liability on the water, and uninsured watercraft situations that homeowners policies ignore.

WHAT'S COVERED

What a Georgia boat policy covers

Physical Damage (Hull Coverage)

Pays to repair or replace your boat if it is damaged by a covered cause including collision, fire, theft, windstorm, and sinking. Available as agreed value or actual cash value.

Liability Coverage

Pays for injuries or property damage you cause to others while operating the boat. Required by most marinas and recommended everywhere.

Uninsured Watercraft

Pays if you are injured by a boat operator who has no insurance or insufficient coverage.

Equipment and Accessories

Covers fishing gear, electronics, anchors, and other equipment attached to or stored on the boat.

IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS

What a Georgia boat policy does not cover

Operating under the influence

Operating a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs voids coverage under most policies.

Wear, tear, and mechanical breakdown

Wear and tear, osmotic blistering, and normal deterioration of the hull are not covered.

Commercial use

Using the boat for commercial purposes such as chartering, fishing tours, or paid lessons is excluded.
