Jet Ski & PWC Insurance

Personal watercraft (PWC) like Jet Skis, WaveRunners, and Sea-Doos require insurance in many states. Their high speeds and maneuverability make liability coverage essential, and theft rates warrant comprehensive protection.

Standalone vs. Endorsement

You can often add PWC coverage to a homeowners policy or boat policy, or purchase standalone PWC insurance. Standalone policies may offer better coverage but cost more.
