By Andrew Walkey, Marine Insurance Specialist at NFP
Owning a boat is ideal for those who enjoy freedom. Streets can only take you so far, and you must stay within the lines. In contrast, the waters exude a sense of boundless adventure. Navigating the seas doesn’t mean there are no rules to be followed, but the open waters are generous in their perimeters.
Seasoned boat owners may be wondering how they can go even further on their next trip. What is yet to be explored remains unique to each boat owner, but the sense of adventure is universal. As a marine insurance specialist at NFP, I help clients find a tailored boat insurance policy that works for their lifestyle and travel dreams. By offering navigational extensions as far as the Caribbean, this rare market offering can help clients execute their travel plans with confidence.
Wondering how far you can take your boat and still be covered?
I’ve outlined the most common questions we get. Read on to learn more about how far you can take your boat and still be covered under your insurance policy.
Where does coverage extend for taking a boat out in Canada?
Navigation territory in Canada includes the Ottawa River, lakes and rivers between Quebec and Ontario, the St. Lawrence River, the Saguenay River and the inland water of New Brunswick.
How far does coverage extend to take a boat into US waters?
You can navigate into the inland waters of Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
