A big part of Florida life is boating and water use. Many residents and guests own boats, ships, and other watercraft that are docked here. These vessels are incredibly expensive, regardless of size. Cargo and equipment for boats can also be extremely expensive. Most owners purchase marine insurance for their vessels, especially owners of larger boats or those who use their vessels in part for business, such as fishing charters. Marine insurance can cover all costs related to the boat, including equipment, upgrades, and objects on the boat. In severe windstorms or hurricanes, marine insurance can cover damage for a ship that sinks or suffers any other type of catastrophic damage. That is how it is supposed to work, but often marine insurance companies deny claims for no reason or underpay insureds.
