If you own a\u00a0Jet Ski,\u00a0kayak\u00a0or other small watercraft, you may be wondering whether your existing insurance covers you out on the lake or\u00a0if\u00a0you need something extra.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Insurance Required for Jet Skis and Small Watercraft?<\/h2>\n<p>Many states do not require jet ski or small watercraft owners to carry liability insurance by law. That said, many marinas and launch facilities\u00a0require\u00a0proof of coverage before allowing access. Additionally, if you are financing the purchase of your watercraft, your lender may require coverage until the loan is paid off. Beyond those requirements, going without coverage leaves you personally responsible for any damage or injuries you cause on the water.\u00a0Additionally,\u00a0you\u2019d\u00a0have to pay to repair or replace your watercraft out of pocket.<\/p>\n<h2>What Does Jet Ski and Small Watercraft Insurance Cover?<\/h2>\n<p>A dedicated watercraft policy typically covers\u00a0many common incidents. Coverage can vary by policy, but many plans may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Bodily injury liability<\/b>\u2014May help cover costs if you injure another person on the water<\/li>\n<li><b>Property damage liability<\/b>\u2014May help cover damage caused to other boats or docks<\/li>\n<li><b>Collision coverage<\/b>\u2014May help cover damage to your own watercraft\u00a0after a crash<\/li>\n<li><b>Comprehensive coverage<\/b>\u2014May help cover theft,\u00a0vandalism\u00a0or weather-related damage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check your policy for specifics on what is and is not included.<\/p>\n<h2>Who Should Consider This Coverage?<\/h2>\n<p>Anyone who owns or regularly\u00a0operates\u00a0a jet ski, personal watercraft, canoe,\u00a0kayak\u00a0or small motorboat should think seriously about standalone watercraft coverage. If you rent or borrow watercraft, a non-owner watercraft policy may also be worth exploring.<\/p>\n<h2>Get on the Water\u00a0With\u00a0Financial\u00a0Security<\/h2>\n<p>AeroMex Insurance is dedicated to helping clients in Sherman, TX find the right\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aeromexins.com\/coverage\/boat\/\">watercraft\u00a0and boat\u00a0insurance<\/a>\u00a0solutions.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aeromexins.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact us today<\/a>\u00a0to discuss coverage options that fit how you use the water.<\/p>\n<p><i>This blog is intended for informational and educational use only.
