The Importance of Jet Ski and Personal Watercraft Insurance



Orlando, Fla.—Yes, it’s almost the season, but this is Florida! Spring Break is just around the corner and we all want to be ready for outdoor fun, which for us means, water. Families will shop for their preferred personal watercraft to enjoy spring and summer, right here in the Sunshine State. A PWC/jet ski is a fun and affordable way to get out on the water. The fuel and annual maintenance costs are relatively low, and you can store it in your garage for the off-season.

Jet skis, for example, are one very popular option you can find in almost any of our many beaches, lakes, and rivers. Only a few states mandate boat insurance, but PWC insurance is important if you’re liable in an on-water accident or you damage your watercraft. Every common PWC type, including Jet Skis, WaveRunners, and Sea-Doos should be protected by Personal Watercraft Insurance (PWC.)

Jet ski insurance, which frequently falls under the title of personal watercraft insurance, will help you avoid the unexpected expense that comes with damage related to storms, unexpected accidents, fires, and even traveling. It works like auto insurance covers your car, with different coverages and protections selected based on your policy.  You may want to explore your options of liability, collision and comprehensive coverage

Jet Ski insurance insurance, just like home, auto and other personal insurance coverage come in several shapes and sizes, and finding the right policy can be challenging.

Personal watercraft insurance, on the other hand, helps pay for accidental damage, fuel spill protection and offers optional coverages like rental reimbursement and even Roadside Assistance. 

You can customize your personal watercraft insurance to fit your needs. Some options to discuss with your agent include:

  • Medical payments coverage
  • Personal effects coverage
  • Broad navigation
  • Roadside and on-water assistance
  • Fuel spill protection
  • Limitations and exclusions
  • Uninsured boaters
  • Towing versus emergency assistance

Jet Ski Insurance is different from Boat Insurance, although both fall under the umbrella of watercraft insurance.

There are three different types of watercraft insurance and you can find these solutions and more at Orlando Insurance Center:

  1. Boat Insurance
  2. Personal Watercraft Insurance
  3. Yacht Insurance
