Stus-List insuring a 38 landfall
Hi I currently use Progressive for insuring my CC 29. I called them to insure the 38 Landfall and I was informed that they do not insure sailboat over 35' in length. They did how ever added the 38LF on to my policy for the remainder of the policy year (Aug) , but informed me that the policy will not be renewable. I have been looking for other insurance companies, and so far I have received only one quote as most companies are not interested. The quote came from BoatUS, but I was shocked that the quote is 4 times more than what I am currently paying at Progressive.Does $2,600/yr seem reasonable?What insurance companies are others using? Thanks for any insight.

Re: Stus-List insuring a 38 landfall
Florida is a much more expensive place to insure a boat because it is considered to be in the hurricane zone. BoatUS charges me about 700 for my 35/3 in Annapolis.

Re: Stus-List insuring a 38 landfall
BoatUS is outrageously expensive in Florida. I think they wanted 2K from me for a 10K policy with a 2.5K deductible on a Bristol 30 in Fort Lauderdale. Progressive gave me the same policy for $600. When I moved to St. Petersburg, it dropped to $400. The rates went way up in South Florida after the horrible 2004-5 hurricane seasons, when hundreds/thousands of boats were sunk from West Palm Beach on south. Especially on older boats. The suspicion was that owners were using the hurricanes as a way to get rid of older, well-insured boats that weren’t in good shape. At my mooring field at Key Biscayne, the joke was that for every owner adding lines, there was another one loosening them ...

Re: Stus-List insuring a 38 landfall
There can be an issue with insuring boats that are more than 25 years old, at least that is what I learned from my agent here in Halifax, Royal Sun alliance is the underwriter and I am not insured for full replacement value, more like the current market value, so if you can find an underwriter save some money and go with current market value on an older boat and get at least $1 million third party liability.

Re: Stus-List insuring a 38 landfall
Yes, 2,600 per year sounds very, very high. Boat US is by no means the cheapest but by most accounts are extremely responsive and provide good coverage. Price will vary significantly due to nav area and boat value. By comparison, my 121 is insured by Progressive for about $800 annual (coastal only). I'm sure BoatUS would be more responsive but I figured the best bet is to simply avoid having to file a claim John Sent from my iPad On Feb 5, 2014, at 9:53 AM, dre...@gmail.com wrote: Hi I currently use Progressive for insuring my CC 29.

Re: Stus-List insuring a 38 landfall
I would guess you're paying the price for living in Florida. Rates in the coastal counties of North Carolina more than doubled a few years ago due to insurance company experience in hurricane country, and in addition deductables were doubled in the event of a named storm - even though we only get hit with a hurricane every 4 or 5 years on average. I, too, had progressive coverage on my 38 for a few months. They will not normally cover anything over 35 feet. I also found the policy was slanted toward the coverage needed for a boat on a trailer when compared to the marine policy I had previously. I had coverage for a while from a company called Victoria, which was the marine insurance subsidiary of Nationwide or Geico. They did not renew one year because my boat no longer met their underwriting criteria for age and value. Might be a problem, but the cost was reasonable. I was going to say Boat/US. Have you tried SeaTow Insurance as well? One alternative might be to join your local Power Squadron chapter so you can get into their insurance program. You get credit for education and for being conscientious and concerned with safety. The Power Squadron insurance was the best value I had, and I regret changing carriers now. Have you called the agent that does your home owners and car insurance? They might be able to help with marine insurance. That's how I ended up with Victoria, and changing got me a multi-policy discount on my homeowners insurance (which has also gone up a whale of a lot in the coastal counties of North Carolina - afterboth Irene and Sandy). Or you might try one of the several marines specific insurance agencies who advertise in Cruising World of Blue Water sailing.

Stus-List Insuring a 38 landfall
Hi, Down in Georgia, the best deal going is Allstate. I'm insuring Take Five (1990 34+) for $400.00 per year with excellent coverage and reasonable deductible( Using the pay it all upfront and multi policy discounts.). BoatUS was about 3 time that.. Of course I'm inland on a medium sized lake so insuring on the coast or bigger lakes could obviously raise that. It's probably worth a call. -Francois Rivard 1990 CC 34+ Take Five___ This List is provided by the CC Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
Re: Stus-List insuring a 38 landfall
Offshore/International single handed insurance is always expensive. Doing it with a boat that's over 30 years old is ridiculous. Actually, the only carrier that would insure my boat wanted about 8 percent of the boat's market value annually. At this point I only carry liability. If I wreck my boat I'm sunk.
