- Physical damage coverage may pay for repairs or replacement if your boat is damaged by a collision, fire, theft or severe weather.

- Type, size and value of your boat or watercraft: The features and value of your vessel may be among the first considerations in pricing.
- How and where you use your vessel: Use on inland lakes, rivers or coastal waters can each carry different risk considerations.
- Storage and security measures: Boats kept in secured facilities or fitted with anti-theft devices may qualify for different rates.
