Watercraft policies insure specified vessel interests and liabilities within their wording.
The distinction that matters
Private recreation, charter, racing and commercial operations can require different acceptance, and navigation limits matter.
What to check
- Declare vessel use and operators.
- Check navigation limits and mooring.
- Review machinery, salvage and liability terms.
Example to discuss
A boat owner starting paid charters asks for revised acceptance instead of relying on a recreational policy.
This is a hypothetical comparison, not a customer claim or a determination of cover.
