About
Quotes4boatinsurance was started as a site to enable all types of boating people to access boat insurance quotes. Once they have several quotes for insuring their boat, they should be able to choose the most appropriate policy for their needs. Throughout this site it is hoped that explaining the various aspects of boat insurance will make your decision easier. Often just changing one part of the quotation will save you money on your premium.
Boat insurance is very necessary for all boating activities. The site has split some of these activities into categories which may suit your requirements. For example, with more people choosing to buy and use PWC (Personal Watercraft) i.e. Jet Skis, there is a separate category for that activity.
Although most owners of larger boats are able to afford to pay for mooring alongside at a marina, there are still quite a number of boats on a swinging mooring. Recent reports of theives stealing outboards around Essex and Suffolk, from boats left on their moorings make it even more essential that you have an adequate insurance policy.
Please browse through this site and follow the various links to even more information. If you require any help or advice please use the Contact Us page to email me and I will reply, hopefully with a suitable answer!
My name is Ian McCulloch and I have been involved with boats all my life. Over the years I have owned (and insured) dinghies, cabin cruisers, sailing catamarans and fishing boats. Recently, I have been on a selling spree – much to my wife’s delight! I sold the small 19 ft yacht and the 20 ft jet cruiser that were in the drive over the winter. That just leaves the mirror dinghy and a new fibreglass dinghy that I have just finished building. I now build 8 ft fibreglass dinghies from a mould to sell as soon as they are finished.
It is important to insure your watercraft, whatever their size not only against theft but also for the rare time you may cause damage to someone else’s boat. All of these situations will be covered in this site.
