Boat Insurance in Red Deer
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.
Red Deer is a city in Alberta, Canada, about halfway between Calgary and Edmonton. It is located on the Red Deer River from which it derives its name, and is easily referred to as "a little slice of heaven". People can enjoy canoeing and kayaking on the Red Deer River as well as the white sandy beach perfect for lounging on those long summer days. It is also a great fishing spot, with a diverse number of game fish to be caught. Just 15-minutes away is Sylvan lake, a little tourist town, known as one of Alberta's boating paradises, where over 1-million visitors go to enjoy boating and enjoy other water activities!

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.
