Re: Can't get Insurance

Well it looks like we are at the end of the road. I have tried everything. I hear back from the last hope we had this morning and they declined due to the $$ amount of the claim. The only insurance I...

Re: Can't get Insurance

We are paying cash for the boat, but it's too much money for me to risk self-insuring.
StateFarm won't cover the Caribbean, just FL coastal waters.
I guess when you have a claim, regardless if it...

Re: Can't get Insurance

I might have to start looking for a place to keep it outside of FL. I appreciate your advice. I don't think we have been 'formally' declined as we never received anything back from them. I'm pretty...

Re: Can't get Insurance

Are there any other insurance providers that underwrite their own policies? StateFarm will insure me, but only for 100mi from FL.

With our recent claim, everyone is turning it down on the spot.

Re: Can't get Insurance

Concepts, Geico (boatus) I know have turned us down. Pantanaeus doesn't insure US flagged boats I don't think, but I will call them.

Re: Can't get Insurance

I already asked my broker about that. We did not have joint insurance when it happened, but he said it would come back to haunt me if we had a claim.

We are buying a new FP MY6 44' power cat. We are wanting the entire Caribbean on the insurance, but would settle for all of the Bahama Island chain if we had to.

Re: First Cat for Family New to Cruising

Just wanted to thank everyone for your help and input. We decided to go with a power cat as our interest wasn't so much sailing as traveling to new places. We have a new Aquila 54 on order and...
