Mine is with BoatUS. I don't understand why insurance companies do this. Where I am, the live aboard boats are well maintained. Last winter, the 3 boats that sank were all neglected boats with land based owners. Live aboard owners can't neglect their boats since they have to live on 'em.
Banks also charge higher interest rates for live aboard owners, don't understand that either.

great point, in fact my homeowners insurance wont cover water damage from plumbing leaks if the house is un occupied... as there would have been someone there to shut the water off faster ... i guess?

"Banks also charge higher interest rates for live aboard owners, don't understand that either."
That's easy. Bank loan officers and banking policy all go by actuarial tables and statistics. Their numbers say that if you don't have substantial ties to a community, you're a higher risk. If all you have to do is slip the lines and vamoose, you're a higher risk again.
No house? No rented brick and mortar? So, you're not part of a fixed community and you're considered to be a free soul who's probably a higher risk. And you get charged more.

It may or may not be true statistically, it may or may not apply to you. But according to their numbers, you're a higher risk so they charge you more.

A local credit union or other source that pays more attention to who you are as an individual may give you a better rate. The Bedford Falls Mutual Building & Loan comes to mind.

What about health insurance?

We got our liveaboard insurance with Pantaneus through IMIS.
We found IMIS very professional and while in Greece I had some problem with the local capitanerie, called Pantaneus in the UK and within 10min there was a fax fixing our little problem.

Any suggestions for liveaboard health insurance?

We also sell life insurance for any cruiser who will be outside the USA for 6 months or more per year. The quotes are all done on line- just go to IMIS Online Services and scroll down to the International Helath Plans.

I learned the Hard way that Progressive doesnt insure liveaboards so now I use Boat U.S. They did require a new survey when I established the policy though.

I couldn't be happier, though. I now have much better coverage with about 2/3 the cost!! My policy has most of the benefits of house insurance. They are well worth a look/quote.

we cant find imis
