FAQ
In Illinois, while boat insurance is not mandated by state law, many boaters opt for coverage to avoid out-of-pocket expenses in case of loss or damage. This approach is often supported by lenders and marinas, which may require boat insurance to secure loans or grant docking privileges.
While many boat rental facilities offer some form of boat rental insurance, your personal boat insurance policy can provide liability coverage if you operate a rental watercraft. Check your boat policy or speak with your boat insurer to determine what, if any, coverage will apply to renting a boat.
All boat insurance policies have exclusions. The excluded items vary from company to company but generally include loss caused by wear and tear, gradual deterioration, weathering, insects, mold, animals and marine life. Some companies include coverage for damage caused by zebra mussels; others do not.
If you own a boat, you might wonder if your homeowners insurance covers the dock where you moor it. Typically, if the dock is on your primary residence, you can protect your property for a covered event up to your policy's limits. But your insurance won't cover a dock or pier you rent from a marina.
