Liability, cash value, predetermined amount, collision... it can get confusing! How much insurance do you need? What type of insurance will benefit you most? Is the boat towing covered? How about personal items kept onboard? Am I covered if my boat sinks or burns? Who do you turn to in order to make a qualified decision?

The American Boating Association (ABA) has partnered with United Marine Underwriters (UMU) to bring you a trusted guide to the best rates, the broadest coverage and the most easily understood boat insurance policies available.

Save Time and Money While Shopping for "A" List Boating Insurance

what should you know before buying boating insurance?  
United Marine Underwriters is the ABA's preferred choice for boat insurance because they only represent the world's "A" or better rated insurance companies. These are companies with high ratings from A.M. Best for solid financial stability. In other words, you can count on them to be there when you need them.

When you request an online quote from the ABA Boat Insurance Program or call toll-free at 800-477-7140, UMU will compare policies and rates from their list of superior boat insurance providers then offer you the best of the best. You'll receive your quote within minutes (may take longer if additional underwriting is necessary, but shouldn't be more than one to two business days).

Boat Towing Coverage

Before purchasing separate boat towing coverage, consider that most coverage offered through the ABA Boat Insurance Program includes towing coverage. For complete details, contact the customer care staff at UMU toll-free at 800-477-7140.

Ensuing Loss Coverage

The ABA Boat Insurance Program includes ensuing loss caused by consequential sinking, burning or collision. Most boat insurance policies include the wording “losses resulting from”. So if the boat sinks due to an excluded item (wear and tear or deterioration), the entire loss is excluded. With ensuing loss, even if wear and tear or deterioration is excluded, the consequential loss from sinking, burning or collision is covered. For complete details, contact that customer care staff at UMU toll-free at 800-477-7140.
