Houseboats

Houseboat Insurance Designed for Life on the Water

Houseboats aren’t just boats—they’re floating homes. That means your insurance needs to go beyond standard marine coverage and account for the systems, structures, and lifestyle that come with extended stays on the water. From plumbing and electrical systems to furnishings and personal belongings, the risks look much more like a hybrid between a boat and a home.

We work with carriers that understand houseboats, whether you’re docked full-time on a marina or cruising between lakes. Our goal is to make sure everything that matters—your vessel, your property, and your liability—is properly protected without gaps or surprises.

Whether your houseboat is a weekend retreat or your primary residence, coverage should reflect how it’s actually used. We help structure policies that align with both part-time and full-time occupancy.
Houseboats include plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and appliances that standard boat policies may not fully address. Proper coverage ensures these essential systems are included.
When your boat is tied up, risks shift. Liability coverage should extend to dock-related incidents, guest injuries, and potential damage to surrounding property.
Furniture, electronics, and personal belongings can add up quickly. We make sure your interior contents are considered so you’re not underinsured.
Houseboats are especially vulnerable to severe weather and water level changes. We help ensure your policy accounts for these risks, including wind and storm-related damage.

Our Process

Learn Your Boat

We like to start by learning about your boat, getting to know the history, and determining if we’re comparing to your current coverage or starting a new policy from scratch.

Talk About Your Use

Next we want to know about your use of your boat. Are you just anchoring in a cove or sandbar on the weekend, or are you going on trips for days or weeks at a time?

Discuss Coverages

Every policy we write is unique, just like our clients. We offer coverage from mild to wild… from simple liability policies all the way up to mechanical breakdown and towing.

Get You Covered

Once we know about you, your boat, your intended use, and the coverage you desire, all that is left is a signature or two and you’re ready to set sail! It’s that’s easy. See you on the river!
