Do I need insurance to rent a boat?

GetMyBoat does not currently offer rental insurance for owners or customers.

GetMyBoat does not and will not offer advice about insurance or compliance with regulations and requirements as these vary by location. When owners sign up, they agree that they are compliant and take complete responsibility for their own compliance as part of our terms of use.

Any insurance questions should be handled directly between renter and owner as policies, laws, and regulations vary from state to state and by country. 

When it comes to insurance, we evaluated every possible model and helped to develop a best-in-class solution. The product that we helped create with an exclusive partnership with Boat Charter Insurance (BCI), is an annual policy that covers both personal use and rental coverage, which replaces a boat owner’s personal policy. You can check out their website at https://boatcharter-insurance.com/ or you can email them directly at [e-mail].  

Owners take sole responsibility for making sure their watercraft is safe, secure, and seaworthy.
