Boat insurance helps protect your watercraft—and your peace of mind.
Like auto insurance, boat insurance provides financial protection if your vessel is damaged, stolen, or involved in an accident. If you experience a covered loss, you’ll typically pay a deductible, and your insurer will cover the remaining costs up to your policy limits.


What Boat Insurance May Cover:

  • Physical Damage – Protection for your boat, trailer, motor, and onboard equipment (like safety gear and electronics).
  • Liability Coverage – Helps pay for damages or injuries you cause to others or their property while operating your boat.
  • Medical Payments – Covers medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident.
  • Uninsured Boater – Provides coverage if you're hit by someone without insurance.
  • Towing & Assistance – Optional coverage for emergency services on the water.

Coverage options and availability may vary by provider and location.


Helpful Resources:

It depends—but it’s often a smart move.
Most states in the U.S. don’t require boat insurance by law. However, there are situations where coverage may be required:

  • Lenders may require insurance if you’re financing your boat.
  • Marinas often require proof of insurance if you’re docking or storing your boat on their property.

Even if it’s not required, boat insurance can help protect you from costly out-of-pocket expenses due to accidents, damage, or liability. Coverage options typically include:

  • Liability – Covers damage or injury you cause to others.
  • Collision – Helps pay for repairs if your boat is damaged in an accident.
  • Uninsured Boater – Protects you if another boater causes damage and doesn’t have insurance.

Helpful Resources:

Remote, reliable, and ready to help.
You don’t need to meet in person to get expert support. Most of our insurance services are handled remotely—making it easy and convenient for you to get the help you need from wherever you are.

To connect with a licensed insurance agent:

We’ll work with you by phone or email to answer questions, review coverage, and help you make informed decisions—no office visit required.


Helpful Resources:

It depends on your needs—but awareness is always essential.
Identity theft insurance can offer peace of mind, especially if you feel at higher risk or want help recovering from fraud. These services typically focus on:

  • Monitoring your accounts and personal information
  • Restoring your identity if it’s compromised
  • Covering certain out-of-pocket costs related to recovery

That said, many monitoring tasks—like checking your credit reports—can be done for free if you’re proactive.


Smart Steps You Can Take Today:

If you're considering coverage, our team at First Tech Insurance Services can help you explore your options and decide what’s right for you.

It depends on your RV type and how you use it.
If your RV is self-propelled (like a motorhome), insurance is typically required—especially liability coverage, which helps protect you if you cause damage or injury while driving. Additional coverage like collision and comprehensive is highly recommended to protect your investment.

If your RV is a towable trailer, it’s usually covered under the liability portion of the towing vehicle’s policy. However, you may want to explore additional coverage for the trailer itself and its contents.

Some RV owners also choose to add an umbrella policy for extra liability protection, especially if they travel frequently or host guests.


Common RV Insurance Options:

  • Liability Coverage – Required for drivable RVs
  • Collision Coverage – Helps pay for damage from accidents
  • Comprehensive Coverage – Covers theft, vandalism, and natural disasters
  • Personal Belongings Protection – Covers items inside your RV
  • Roadside Assistance – Optional, but helpful for breakdowns
  • Umbrella Policy – Adds extra liability protection
