Took me about two weeks shopping for yacht insurance before spring launch. Lesson one: a low premium often means gaps in coverage. Look at agreed value vs actual cash value — with ACV, depreciation eats the payout after a total loss. For an older hull, be ready for a request for a fresh marine survey. The hard part is the policy wording, so I found a clear breakdown here: yacht-insurance.net — it lays out the main policy terms in plain English. Also read the navigation limits carefully: going past the listed waters can get a claim denied. On the East Coast and the Gulf, the named storm deductible is often a percentage of hull value, not a flat amount. Don't skimp on liability either — wreck removal and guest injuries can exceed the value of the boat itself. Get at least three quotes and read the exclusions before you sign.
