We are boaters. We are boat insurance specialists.

We understand the lure of the water because we’re boaters just like you. What’s more, we’ve been boat insurance specialists for more than 30 years. Needless to say, we know a thing or two about boating and, of course, boat insurance. And that means a whole lot of peace of mind for you.

Markel means more.

When you insure your boat with us, you’ll get all the extras that many other insurance carriers don’t offer. And if they do, you can expect to pay extra for them. Not at Markel. Our coverage includes such things as water-sport liability, medical payments coverage, and diminishing deductibles.

Customized boat insurance for you and you alone.

At Markel, we tailor your boat insurance to fit your individual needs. We take into consideration what kind of boat you own and what activities you enjoy with it. For example, if you own a fishing boat, we offer optional fishing equipment coverage. Or, if you enjoy water-skiing, we provide watercraft liability. So, whether you own an antique boat, power boat, ski boat, fishing boat, pontoon, or pleasure boat, we have the right boat insurance for you. And, of course, we offer it at a competitive rate.

We provide boating insurance for motorboats 32 feet and under, as well as personal watercraft insurance. We also provide insurance for yachts and high-performance boats. If you need boat insurance for larger boats, please call one of our specialists at (800) 236-2637.
