For insurance purposes, watercrafts are categorized into three groups; boat insurance, yacht insurance, and personal watercraft insurance. Homeowners policies typically provide minimal coverage for watercraft — usually only for small boats like a canoe, or a small sailboat or power boat with less than 25 total horsepower. There is no coverage under a homeowners policy for personal watercrafts like jet skis.
While watercraft insurance is optional in most states, it is always a good idea to be sure you are covered while out on the water. Additionally, many loan and marina agreements require owners to obtain coverage.
