Boat insurance is not mandatory in Canada, however there are several instances where having a policy is mandatory, for example, your financial institution may require that your boat is insured in order to secure a loan. Also, if you are mooring or storing your boat at a marina, you may be required to show proof of insurance.
Generally speaking any watercraft that is 20 years of age and older requires an out of water marine survey, however, some exceptions may apply. When discussing your policy with one of our brokers they will inform you if a survey is required or not ,and guide you through the process of setting one up, if necessary.
