Watercraft & Boat Insurance – Why You Need It

Why do you need insurance for your boat or personal watercraft in Northern Virginia? A main reason is that you'll enjoy the water even more when you're not worried about the safety of yourself, your passengers or your investment. Whether you’re in Woodbridge, Burke, Lorton, Falls Church, or anywhere in Northern Virginia, here are a few things to consider:

·       If you're in an accident or your watercraft is stolen, it costs money, often a lot of money, to fix or replace it.

·       If you or any passengers are injured in an accident, medical costs can be extremely expensive.

·       If your watercraft is responsible for damage or injury to others, you may be sued for much more than you're worth.

·       Your watercraft also needs protection when it's on land. Accidents can happen while towing a watercraft.
