Millions of New Englanders have boating in their DNA. So, it does not surprise us that you either own or are in the process of purchasing a sailboat, powerboat, or other personal watercraft. But, even the most experienced boaters often find that the risks and realities of boat ownership are a bit more than they bargained for. This is why you should consider bringing the team at Fred C. Church on board. We will assist you in securing a comprehensively designed boat insurance solution to protect you and your vessel from an array of potential – and highly unpredictable – hazards that may come your way.

Cruise With Confidence
Enjoy your time on the water knowing you have coverage for the mishaps that may lie ahead.
Whether your boat is built for fishing, long-distance cruising, watersports, or sailing, it’s likely that a lot of your time and attention, not to mention money, went into finding and purchasing the exact right vessel. If you did not take the same thorough approach when it came time to secure insurance coverage for your vessel, then all that you have invested in your boat could be at risk. At Fred C. Church, we appreciate that having your own boat can really transform and enhance your lifestyle, but our team also recognizes the many challenges that come with owning watercraft as well. To protect yourself, your boat, your passengers, and other people on the water, our team is here to help you assess the possible dangers of boat ownership and to suggest the coverage that is right for your distinctive vessel.

How do you properly insure your boat and other personal watercraft?
Fred C. Church wants you to understand the factors that determine the type of boat insurance policy that will meet your specific needs.
Many boat owners wrongly assume that their watercraft is already adequately covered under their homeowners policy. While this might be true for very small crafts, most of our clients’ vessels require a separate boat insurance policy that is specially designed with high-quality marine coverage options. In order to help you identify the appropriate policy, though, Fred C. Church needs to get to know you, the ins and outs of your craft, and the types of voyages you plan to take.
The type of boat you have is a good starting point for us, but we also will ask you about your vessel’s age, length, value, horsepower, condition, and more. Lastly, but no less important than these other factors, we will want to understand where you plan to travel with your boat. Whether you’ll be cruising on the ocean or using inland waterways, lakes, and rivers often makes a significant difference in who will insure your boat and how much your coverage will cost. As your insurance partner, Fred C. Church will help you uncover all of these key factors and find the optimal insurance solutions, from top-rated insurance providers, for your boat and other personal watercraft.

I have never viewed an insurance agent like a close trusted financial professional such as my accountant, lawyer or financial advisor but always felt maybe I was missing something. Now I know that I was missing out and that I have filled this gap at the same time.
