— The SkyBlue Way

One PWC. Multiple Insurance Options.

Insurance companies don’t all look at Personal Watercraft and their owners the same way. Your PWC, riding history, location, coverage choices, storage and other factors can affect eligibility and price.

UNDERSTANDING PWC INSURANCE

What Does Personal Watercraft Insurance Cover?

PWC Insurance can combine several types of protection. Available coverage varies by insurance company,
state, watercraft and policy.

Personal Watercraft Liability

Can help protect you financially if you’re legally responsible for certain injuries to another person or damage to someone else’s property involving your insured PWC.

Physical Damage

Can help protect the insured PWC against certain covered physical-damage losses, subject to policy terms, limits and deductibles.

Collision

Can help pay for covered damage to your PWC resulting from a collision with another watercraft or object.

Comprehensive

Can help protect against certain covered losses other than collision, including theft, vandalism, fire and some weather-related events.

Uninsured / Underinsured Boater

If another boater causes a covered accident but has no insurance—or not enough insurance—available UB/UIB coverage may help with covered injuries and damages, subject to policy terms and limits.

Medical Payments

Depending on the insurance company and policy, coverage may be available for certain eligible medical expenses resulting from a covered PWC accident.

ONE PWC OR A PAIR?

Got More Than One in the Garage?

A lot of people don’t buy just one Personal Watercraft.eligible multi-unit properties. If your household owns two or more Jet Skis, WaveRunners, Sea-Doos or other eligible PWCs, tell your Sky-
Agent® about all of them.

Some insurance companies may offer multi-watercraft discounts or other advantages for insuring eligible PWCs together.

DON’T FORGET THE TRAILER

Your PWC Isn’t Always on the Water.

Personal Watercraft spend plenty of time being transported or stored. Depending on the insurance company and policy, coverage may be available for an eligible PWC trailer and related equipment.

Your PWC can also face risks while being trailered, parked at home, stored in a garage or stored elsewhere between rides.

WHEN YOU’RE NOT RIDING

Stored Doesn’t Mean Risk-Free.

  • Theft
  • Fire
  • Vandalism
  • Certain weather events
  • Other covered losses

HOW DO YOU USE YOUR PWC?

The Way You Ride Matters.

Personal Watercraft aren’t all used the same way. Some owners ride occasionally on weekends. Others spend much of the summer on the water. Some households have multiple riders using the same machines. Your PWC, who operates it, where it’s used and how it’s used can affect available insurance options.

PWC VS. BOAT INSURANCE

Jet Ski or Power Boat? We’ll Point You in the Right Direction.

A Personal Watercraft and a larger recreational boat can share some of the same risks, but they aren’t necessarily insured the same way. If you own a Jet Ski, WaveRunner, Sea-Doo or another eligible Personal Watercraft, you’re in the right place.

If you’re looking to insure a Power Boat, fishing boat, pontoon, sailboat or another larger recreational vessel, visit our Boat Insurance page.

PRICE & VALUE

How Much Does Personal Watercraft Insurance Cost?

There isn’t one standard PWC Insurance rate. Insurance companies may consider factors such as:

  • Type and value of the PWC
  • Horsepower / performance
  • Where you live
  • Where you ride
  • Riding experience and history
  • Who operates the PWC
  • Coverage limits and deductibles
  • Number of Personal Watercraft
  • Available discounts

Different insurance companies can evaluate the same condo differently.

That’s Why We Shop.

Personal Watercraft Insurance is designed for eligible recreational watercraft such as Jet Skis, WaveRunners and Sea-Doos. Depending on the policy, it can provide liability protection, physical-damage coverage and other protection for eligible risks associated with owning and operating a PWC.

They share some similar types of protection, but Personal Watercraft and larger recreational boats can have different coverage needs and insurance options. If you own a Jet Ski, WaveRunner, Sea-Doo or another eligible PWC, start here.

Insurance requirements can vary by state and circumstances. A lender may require certain coverage if your PWC is financed, and a marina, storage facility or other party may have its own insurance requirements.

Pricing can be affected by the type and value of the PWC, horsepower/performance, where it’s used, who operates it, riding history, coverage limits, deductibles, storage and available discounts. Different insurance companies can evaluate the same PWC owner differently. That’s Why We Shop.

Physical-damage coverage may help with certain covered damage to an insured Personal Watercraft. Exactly what’s covered depends on the cause of loss, coverage selected, deductible and policy terms.

Coverage for other operators can depend on the insurance company, policy, operator and circumstances. If family members or other people regularly use your PWC, tell your Sky-Agent® who operates it so you can understand the available coverage.

Available passenger-related protection can vary by policy and circumstances. If you regularly carry passengers on your Jet Ski, WaveRunner or Sea-Doo, tell your Sky-Agent® and ask about the available coverage.
