Find PWC Insurance Savings in Delaware

Delaware has incredible waterfront to take advantage of - not only along the Atlantic coastline, but also the many lakes and rivers as well. Dewey Beach is popular with PWC riders, along with the Delaware River.

There's no denying that jet skis are fun, whether it's a stand-up, sit down, or four-seater. They're fast, easy to care for, and are an affordable way to get out on the water. However, they can also be much more dangerous than their larger boat counterparts. It's incredibly important to not only have a life jacket and a fire extinguisher on your boat at all times, but to also have PWC insurance covering your boat while you're out enjoying the waters in Delaware.

Boating Facts

Boating is a favorite American past-time. However, there are thousands of accidents every year on the waterways. Chances are that you or someone you know has been involved in a boating accident.

There were 1,111 PWC accidents in 2012, second only to open motorboats.
Navigation rule violation was the #1 cause of PWC accidents in 2012.
721 people were injured in PWC accidents in 2012 - the majority of those PWCs were not rented.
In 2012, over 600 people died in boating accidents.

It's important to stay safe on the water, no matter where you are riding. In the state of Delaware, if you were born after 1978, you must pass a boaters safety course before being allowed to operate a boat, including PWCs. You must be at least 14 years old in order to be licensed to operate a PWC, and if you're 16 or under, you must have an adult rider with you on the vessel at all times.

What is PWC Insurance in Delaware?

When shopping for PWC insurance quotes in DE, there are many different coverage options to choose from. Here are the most typical types of coverage:

Collision coverage: If you collide with another boater or a fixed object, this coverage is designed to help you pay to repair your PWC.

Uninsured and underinsured boater coverage: Many boaters do not have insurance covering their actual watercraft. If you are hit by someone who is uninsured/underinsured, this coverage will kick in to get your PWC repaired

Medical payments coverage: Boating accidents can cause serious injury. If you are involved in an accident where medical care is needed, this coverage can save you from having to pay for those medical expenses out of pocket.

Towing and assistance coverage: If your PWC breaks due to an impeller fail, battery fail, or an accident, this coverage will ensure you get back to shore safely.

Wreckage removal: In the majority of boating accidents, both parties must get their boats out of the water ASAP - even if they've sunk. This coverage will make getting your boat removed quick and easy.

Comprehensive coverage: This coverage is called "Everything other than collision." If your jet ski is damaged by a low-hanging branch, hail, fire, or vandalism, this will cover the repairs.

Accessory coverage: This optional coverage will make sure additional gear, such as life jackets, GPS systems, and upgrades, are covered by your insurance.

You can also get coverage for your PWC trailer as well.
