Our Reviews
I've always had service handled in a good time frame. Changes for any vehicle paperwork has been done immediately.
I've never had a claim, so I can't comment on any handling in that nature.
I had great experience with Surex agent when I needed to change my insurance policy quickly to accomodate my needs.
They were able to act fast as I requested and I appreciate it very much.
Great job!
Boat Insurance in Vancouver
A popular and fun summertime activity is boating, even though in most provinces you only use your boat for a few months out of the year, it is still important to have it insured all year round.
Vancouver is an idyllic place to boat and enjoy the scenic views of the province, which is located on the Burrard Peninsula, where it lies between Burrard Inlet to the north and the Fraser River to the south. It is especially popular for sailing as you can sail there almost year-round! Because Vancouver is a coastal city, there are abundant resources for boaters, with many lakes, waterways, and beaches as well as fishing, swimming, sailing and other water activities to keep residents and tourists busy!
No two boats are alike so make sure you speak with one of our Advisors to get the best advice. We'll provide you up to 10+ quotes from Canada's top boat insurance providers, getting you the coverage you need, for the best price possible.
Boat Insurance in Red Deer
Boat insurance covers you in the event of a loss or damage to your watercraft. It covers most watercraft with motors, including fishing boats, paddle boats, leisure crafts, even yachts (for you high rollers!). For smaller boats, you may find some limited coverage under your homeowner's policy, so it's best to chat with your Surex Advisor about what you're covered for and what you need to add to your policy when you buy a boat.
The amount of boat insurance you will need depends on a number of factors such as the value of the boat, the motor size, the age and how you use it (speed boat vs a pleasure cruiser). For example, if you bought a new high-performance speed boat, you will need more coverage for bodily injury and property damage liability than you would if you had a pleasure cruiser.
The general rule when it comes to figuring out the average boat insurance prices is that you'll pay about 1.5% of the value of your boat in annual rates. So to insure a boat worth around $50,000, it would cost you only about $750 per year to have it fully insured. Typically it will cost $200-$500 per year
This is similar to the information you would give out when getting auto insurance, here is the information you would need to provide:
- The length, type and value of your boat
- The condition of the boat and the market value
- How often the boat is used, what it is used for and where you store it
- The waters you take the boat out on and if you ever charter your boat
- The experience, loss and claims history of the owners and/or operators
- Any clubs the owners are members of (Sail Canada, or Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons)
It's best to shop around and compare, and that's exactly what we do for you at Surex! We work with the top insurance companies in Canada to provide you with the best rates for your situation. We can find the right boat insurance in Red Deer for you!
It is important that boat owners get a separate boat policy to cover their liability in the event of a gas/oil spill. Also, if injuries are incurred in a boating accident, the home policy offers no accident benefit coverage for this either.
The biggest claim category for boats is environmental contamination lawsuits coming from leaking boats and contaminating water systems. If a boat is insured on a home policy - most policies will not cover environmental contamination losses.
