People living in Cincinnati, OH are not required by law to carry insurance on their boat, and if your vessel is very small or has a modest-sized engine or none at all, your homeowner’s insurance may provide some coverage on your boat. In most cases, however, you are going to need a separate policy. Your boat insurance will cover the damage that you cause to another person’s boat or property, and it will pay for costs related to bodily injury. In addition, your boat will be protected if it is harmed in an accident or by running aground.

When Your Boat is out of the Water

Your boat can still be protected when it is on land, but it is most likely that this coverage will not come from your boat insurance policy. Even if you have insurance on your yacht, it will probably only cover that vessel while it is in the water. When your craft is being transported and something happens, the risk is transferred and assumed by your auto insurance policy.

If the boat is parked on your property, the limited indemnification provided by your homeowner’s policy will not extend to your personal possessions if they are stolen or vandalized. The best reassurance you can have for your boat while on land is an umbrella policy that will work alongside your homeowners or automobile insurance to pay all costs related to any sort of damage.
