At Ninerell Insurance Agency Inc. in Morrisville, PA, we offer comprehensive insurance coverage to all boats and other watercraft owners. All boat/watercraft owners in the state of Pennsylvania are required to have insurance policies that specifically cover their watercraft. Boating is a popular sport in the state, with more than 85,000 miles of rivers and boat-friendly streams. There are also 76 natural lakes and over 2,300 man-created impoundment locations.

There is a misconception among some watercraft owners that homeowners and auto insurance also cover boats and other watercraft. However, in Pennsylvania, homeowner's policies usually include minimal boat insurance coverage. In addition, this coverage is offered only for boats that are pretty small and have small engines or no engines.

All watercraft owners throughout the state should carry insurance to cover damage to their boats. They should also be insured against any damage their watercraft may inflict on other property. These owners should also have liability insurance for possible injuries that their watercraft may cause if these boats should hit an individual. Insurance coverage is also needed for potential injuries that passengers may incur while riding on their boat.

The Three Levels of Boat/watercraft Insurance in Pennsylvania

The three different levels of insurance that are currently available for boat/watercraft owners in Pennsylvania are as follows:

  • Actual Cash Value (ACV) or Market Value. If the total loss of your watercraft occurs, we at Ninerell will reimburse you for the current-day value of your vessel minus the amount of your deductible. If you experience a partial loss of your boat, we will refund you for the amount of depreciated value on your damaged or lost property, minus your deductible.
  • Agreed Amount Value. When you purchased your insurance policy, you and your Ninerell agent agreed on the value of your vessel. This amount, minus your deductible, will equal the amount you will receive if your boat becomes a total loss. Any damage that occurs during a partial boat loss is paid to you according to a replacement cost basis, minus your deductible.
  • Replacement Cost Coverage. If you experience a total loss of your waterborne vessel, we at Ninerell Insurance will pay the cost of replacing your boat with a model that resembles your craft as closely as possible.
