Why Small Craft Need More Than a Boat Policy

Watercraft policies function much like boat insurance, but they come with their own set of rules. Many boat policies exclude jet skis, so having a dedicated watercraft policy ensures you’re covered for liability, theft, damage, and more. Advisors helps clarify the fine print so you can enjoy the water without worry.

Pro Tip: Don’t assume your boat policy automatically covers jet skis. In many cases, they’re considered separate and need their own coverage.

Liability Coverage

Pays if you’re responsible for injury or property damage while operating your jet ski or small craft.

Physical Damage

Covers repair or replacement if your watercraft is damaged in an accident or by risks like theft or vandalism.

Medical Payments

Helps cover medical expenses for you and passengers injured while using your watercraft.

Trailer Coverage

Protects the trailer that transports your watercraft to and from the water.

Any questions not covered below?
Are jet skis covered under a standard boat policy?

Usually not. Most boat insurance excludes personal watercraft like jet skis, so a separate policy is required.

Yes. Even occasional use carries risk—liability and damage can happen in a single outing.

Does my homeowner’s policy cover my watercraft?

Typically no. Homeowner’s policies rarely extend to motorized watercraft.
