Unlike car or home insurance, marine policies vary greatly from one insurer to another \u2014 which is why it&#8217;s important to compare with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.assur360.ca\/en\/blog\/home-insurance-in-quebec-2\/my-insurance-broker-2\/\">specialized broker<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Quebec, boat insurance is not legally mandatory, but it is <strong>strongly recommended<\/strong> by <a href=\"https:\/\/tc.canada.ca\/fr\/transport-maritime\/securite-navigation-plaisance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Transport Canada<\/a> to protect your investment and cover your liability to third parties. An accident on the water can result in rescue, clean-up and prosecution costs that quickly exceed the value of the boat. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why-take-out-a-separate-policy-for-your-boat\"><\/span>Why take out a separate policy for your boat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s better to get a <strong>separate policy<\/strong> than just adding an endorsement to your home insurance. Here&#8217;s why: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Specific maritime coverage<\/strong> : environmental damage, wreck removal, salvage and clean-up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extended Liability<\/strong> : Protection against bodily injury and property damage caused to third parties on the water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Equipment included<\/strong> : fishing equipment, electronics, trailer and accessories<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Navigational Territory<\/strong> : St. Lawrence River, Lake Champlain, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.assur360.ca\/en\/blog\/marine\/buying-a-boat-in-florida-2\/\">Florida, Bahamas<\/a> and International Waters (as per amendment)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all home insurers cover boats \u2014 especially those over 50 hp or of high value. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.assur360.ca\/en\/blog\/marine\/boat-insurance-broker\/\">broker specializing in boat insurance<\/a> has access to marine insurers in Quebec and can negotiate the best coverage for your profile. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Agreed-Value-vs-Day-Value\"><\/span>Agreed Value vs. Day Value<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two coverage options are available to you when you take out:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Agreed value<\/strong> : you and the insurer agree on a fixed amount at the time of purchase. In the event of a total loss, you receive this amount in full, without depreciation. This is the recommended protection <strong>for valuable boats<\/strong>, but it costs more.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Actual cash value<\/strong> : Compensation is the market value of the boat at the time of the loss (with depreciation). Lower premium, but potentially insufficient coverage for newer boats. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pleasure-boat-vs-yacht-what-is-the-difference\"><\/span>Pleasure boat vs yacht: what is the difference?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In marine insurance, the distinction is generally made on the size of:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pleasure boat<\/strong> : boat <strong>26 feet or less<\/strong> \u2014 standard coverage, affordable premium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Yacht<\/strong> : Craft of <strong>27 feet or more<\/strong> \u2014 more comprehensive and specialized coverage, as yachts travel greater distances and are exposed to more risk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out our complete guide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.assur360.ca\/en\/blog\/marine\/yacht-insurance-for-the-caribbean\/\">to yacht insurance for the Caribbean<\/a> if your watercraft exceeds 27 feet.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:40px;margin:24px 0 40px;flex-wrap:wrap;\">\n  <div style=\"flex:1 1 42%;min-width:280px;\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_auto,s_webp:avif\/www.assur360.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/meilleur-assurance-bateau-1024x572.jpg\" alt=\"White yacht at sea \u2014 pleasure boat insurance in Quebec with Assur360\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:12px;display:block;\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\n  <\/div>\n  <div style=\"flex:1 1 52%;min-width:280px;\">\n    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#0d1f2d;font-family:'Sora',sans-serif;font-size:24px;font-weight:800;line-height:1.25;margin:0 0 14px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-claims-are-covered-by-boat-insurance\"><\/span>What claims are covered by boat insurance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n    <p style=\"color:#334155;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 12px;\">Depending on the policy chosen, your pleasure boat insurance may cover:<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Collision and grounding<\/strong> : damage during an impact with another boat, dock or submerged object<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Theft and vandalism<\/strong> : at the port, in tow or in winter storage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Storms and bad weather<\/strong> : hail, lightning, strong winds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fire and explosion<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transportation and towing<\/strong> : damage during the land movement of the vessel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Third-party liability<\/strong> : injury to third parties, damage to other boats or port facilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salvage and decontamination<\/strong> : wreck removal and decontamination costs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Common exclusions:<\/strong> normal wear and tear, scratches, animal damage, manufacturing defects, gradual deterioration, and ice damage.
