Great if you need a claim, but it's not 'free'.

Also, I think for some boats they will not do Agreed Value based on age, etc but not 100% sure.
That's true. But boats depreciate a lot quicker than policy increases, LOTS quicker. My premium has gone up $18 a year since 2007. The boat hasn't faired nearly that well

Insurance is all about protection when you need it, and a company that settles claims fairly if you ever do. Premiums are about the fifth thing I look at.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd have gone with BoatUS from the get go. I also have the BoatUS on water package. Thankfully, never needed it.
