Does my Quebec boat insurance cover the Bahamas?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Generally <strong>no<\/strong>, or with significant limitations. Standard policies cover adjacent Canadian and U.S. waters, but not extended use in the Bahamas or offshore navigation. A specific endorsement or dedicated policy is required.<\/p><\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>2. How much does Bahamas-based boat insurance cost?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>From <strong>$900 to $6,800\/year<\/strong> depending on size, value, cyclone zone, and frequency of use. A 45-foot yacht docked in Miami costs about $2,200 \u2013 $3,500; in Nassau, $2,800 \u2013 $4,500.<\/p><\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>3. What is a hurricane deductible?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>During hurricane season (June 1 \u2013 November 30), several insurers apply a <strong>separate deductible of 5% to 10% of the insured value<\/strong> for damages related to a named cyclone. For a $200,000 boat, that\u2019s a $10,000 \u2013 $20,000 deductible.<\/p><\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>4. Should I transfer my Canadian policy or purchase in the USA?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Two options: (1) keep your Quebec policy with a multi-territory endorsement (simpler, billed in CAD, service in French), or (2) purchase a U.S. policy (often cheaper for large boats, but in USD and in English). Our insurance broker will advise you.<\/p><\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>5. Is the Gulf Stream a risk area?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Yes. The Miami-Bimini crossing (80 km offshore) presents cross waves of 2-4 m, northeast current, and the presence of semi-trucks and cargo ships. A <strong>explicit bluewater policy<\/strong> is necessary \u2014 it represents 20-40% of the cost of a coastal policy.<\/p><\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>6. Is my boat reassembled in Quebec for the summer covered?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Yes, multi-territory policies automatically cover the return to Canada \u2014 by semi-truck or by waterway (Intracoastal Waterway + Long Island Sound + canals). Check the &#8220;transport&#8221; section of the contract.<\/p><\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>7. What areas are covered?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>According to the contract: <strong>Nassau (New Providence), Paradise Island, Freeport (Grand Bahama), Bimini, Abacos (Marsh Harbour, Hope Town), Exumas (Great Exuma, Staniel Cay), Eleuthera, Long Island, Cat Island, San Salvador, Turks and Caicos<\/strong> (additional endorsement). Cyclone zones may require a seasonal endorsement.<\/p><\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>8. Is cyclone damage (Ian, Ida, Maria) covered?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Yes, under an all-risk bluewater policy, <strong>after applying the hurricane deductible<\/strong> (5-10% of the value). Damages are assessed in Miami or Nassau by a local marine expert appointed by the insurer.<\/p><\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>9. Can I rent my boat in the Bahamas (charter)?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>No under a recreational policy. Any rental (with or without crew) requires a commercial charter policy \u2014 usually 4-8% of the value per year, with an audit of the skipper and engaged crews.<\/p><\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>10. How do I claim a claim outside Quebec?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Call 1-866-357-4451 \u2014 our Quebec team coordinates with local experts (in Florida or the Bahamas). Document photos, witnesses, Coast Guard report (Coast Guard, Royal Bahamas Defence Force) according to the location.

The Miami-Bimini crossing (80 km offshore) has cross waves of 2-4 m, northeast current, and the presence of semi-trailers and freighters. An explicit bluewater policy is necessary \u2014 it represents 20-40% of the cost of a coastal policy.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is my boat brought back to Quebec for the summer covered?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, multi-territory policies automatically cover the return to Canada \u2014 by semi-trailer or by waterway (Intracoastal Waterway + Long Island Sound + canals). Check the 'transport' section of the contract.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What areas are covered?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"According to the contract: Nassau (New Providence), Paradise Island, Freeport (Grand Bahama), Bimini, Abacos (Marsh Harbour, Hope Town), Exumas (Great Exuma, Staniel Cay), Eleuthera, Long Island, Cat Island, San Salvador, Turks and Caicos (additional endorsement).
