Ask Your Agent
Your independent Safeco agent can help you find insurance that meets your specific needs. Here are a few things to discuss when you talk:
- Is my boat or watercraft covered for use year-round?
- Can I get discounts for taking safety classes, having multiple policies, and diesel power?
- Do I have coverage if I need to have my boat towed in an emergency?
*Some states require young boaters (usually age 16 or younger) to complete an approved safety course before operating a boat. To find out about safe boating classes in your area, contact the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or U.S. Power Squadron.
