What to look for in your boat insurance?
When you're deciding on boat insurance, there are a few things to look out for:
- Sum insured - this is the total value of your boat. If you have a trailer, it’s important to factor that in too.
- Liability - check the amount of liability you are covered for if you accidentally damage someone else’s boat or property.
- Cover for the whole year - many claims occur off the water so it’s important to be covered for events like theft, fire, and malicious damage which can unfortunately happen at any time.
- Geographical limits - this is the maximum area you are covered for from a certain point in New Zealand.
