Whether your clients own a runabout, sailboat, or yacht, their watercraft is their escape, and an experience you want to protect.
Americans continue to enjoy boating as a safe, healthy way to relieve stress and enjoy quality time outdoors. An estimated 100 million Americans enjoy boating and the economic contributions from boating and fishing were up nearly 30 percent in 2020, compared to 2019.
