Frequently Asked Questions — Echelon Marine

How do I know if Echelon Marine is the best choice for me?
Have your file compared by a broker from a partner firm who will bid on several insurers (including Echelon Marine). The best contract depends on your boat, profile and needs.
Does Echelon Marine cover used boats?
Yes, usually, sometimes with restrictions on age (>15 years) or the need for a prior maritime inspection for boats of significant value.
Is there a multi-policy discount with Echelon Marine?
Possibly, if you have other insurance in the same group (car, home). Ask your broker for the comparative simulation.
Does Echelon Marine cover shipping in the US?
Yes in most cases, subject to territorial extension or amendment. Explicitly check before an extended stay (>3 months).
How long does it take to process a complaint?
Simple loss: 4 to 8 weeks. Complex claim: 3 to 12 months. The quality of the file (photos, testimonies, expertise) shortens this period.
Can I cancel during the contract?
Yes, usually with 30 days’ notice. The refund is prorated minus the administrative fee.
How to file a complaint against Echelon Marine?
1) With the insurer’s customer service, 2) With the Chamber of Insurance if there is a breach of ethics, 3) With the AMF for contractual disputes.
What is the standard deductible at Echelon Marine?
$500 to $2,500 usually. A high deductible reduces the premium by 10 to 25% but increases your cost in the event of a claim.
