Obtenir ma soumission gratuiteWhy insure your personal watercraft in Quebec?
In Quebec, operating a personal watercraft requires a Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC) issued by Transport Canada, and your personal watercraft must be registered if its engine exceeds 7.5 kW (10 hp). While personal watercraft insurance isn’t legally mandatory like auto, it’s highly recommended — and required by most marinas, private lakes and financing.
Civil liability
Covers bodily injury or property damage caused to others (other boat, swimmer, shore equipment). Recommended minimum: $2 million.
Collision and breakage
Damage to your personal watercraft caused by collision with another boat, dock, rock or sandbar.
Theft and vandalism
Theft of the personal watercraft, trailer or equipment (GPS, marine sound system). Especially important when parking and when transporting.
Towing on the water
Engine failure offshore? Boating can cost $500 to $2,000. Check to see if this protection is included or optional.
Winter Storage
The personal watercraft remains covered in the off-season (November-April) against theft, fire and damage in storage. Essential in Quebec.
Transport on trailer
Road accident during transportation (Highway 40, Route 117 to the Laurentians) — the personal watercraft and trailer are covered separately from the car.
