Common Boat Insurance Discounts

Few experiences compare to hopping into your boat and gliding across sparkling blue waters. But it isn’t always smooth sailing. If your personal watercraft causes an accident, which results in an injury or property damage, or gets stolen, boat insurance may protect you financially. Plus, you may even qualify for a discount.

Boat insurance discounts vary by carrier, but common ones include:

Prior Insurance

If you previously had boat insurance, you might get a discount. Rules may vary based on the insurance carrier.

Claim-Free Renewal

If you didn’t submit a claim during the previous policy period, you may get a discount at renewal.

Safety Course

You might save on your insurance premium if you complete an approved boater safety course.

Pay in Full

You may qualify for a discount if you pay your insurance policy upfront.
