Watercraft & Boat Insurance in Kirkland, WA

Washington does not require insurance to operate a recreational boat, but marinas, lenders and yacht clubs almost always require proof of liability coverage, and most owners on Lake Washington and Puget Sound carry it. A boat policy covers the hull, motor and equipment, liability, medical payments, uninsured boaters, on-water towing and the trailer, with agreed-value or actual-cash-value options.

  • An absolute pleasure to work with these guys! Fast, responsive, professional approach to any question you might have. They are going extra mile for you. I needed an overnight boat policy for a quick vessel delivery, called Irina, before the sundown I had all of my paperwork in place. Thank you! Highly recommended!

  • My agent Boris was extremely helpful with helping me understand my policies . Doubled my coverage and adding our 3rd vehicle for what we paid for 2 vehicles with half the coverage . Boris also saved me money in both my Harley Davidsons insurance ! Would highly recommend them to all my friends and family!

  • Alexandra and Boris helped us find a Condo + Auto + Umbrella bundle with the same coverage, saving us over $400. They also spent more than 4 hours answering all our questions and educating us on which claims are effective and, more importantly, which ones are not.

FAQ

Watercraft & Boat Insurance questions, answered.

What Kirkland and Eastside clients ask us most often about watercraft & boat insurance.

Is boat insurance required in Washington?
Washington does not require insurance to own or operate a recreational boat. In practice, marinas and private moorage facilities, lenders and yacht clubs almost always require proof of liability coverage, and most owners on Lake Washington and Puget Sound carry it for the same reason they insure a car.
What does a boat policy cover?
Physical damage to the hull, motor and equipment; liability for injuries or damage to others; medical payments; uninsured boater coverage; towing and assistance on the water; and optional coverage for fishing gear, personal effects and the trailer.
What is the difference between agreed value and actual cash value?
Agreed value pays a fixed amount you and the carrier set when the policy starts, with no depreciation at claim time. Actual cash value pays market value at the time of loss. Agreed value costs more but avoids surprises on a total loss.
Do you insure jet skis and personal watercraft?
Yes: personal watercraft, ski boats, pontoons, fishing boats, sailboats and cruisers. Coverage and pricing depend on the type, length, horsepower, where it is moored or stored and how you use it.
Is my boat covered while it's on the trailer or in storage?
Most policies cover the boat while trailered, stored and in the water, with navigation limits that define how far you can travel. We check that your policy's territory matches where you actually boat.
Can I get coverage quickly for a delivery or a purchase?
Often yes. We have bound boat policies the same day when a buyer needed proof of insurance to take delivery. Call us with the vessel details and your timeline.
