This provides a much better choice than canceling your insurance policy. Pro America Insurance wants you to understand the difference between the two and how winter lay-up still saves you money.<\/p>\n<p>Some individuals think that they can save money by canceling their insurance for winter. This does eliminate their premiums for a few months while they store their boat, but it also leaves it in peril because of other issues such as theft or damage from a natural hazard or fire in the storage facility or while moored.<\/p>\n<p>You could also purchase a boat insurance policy that includes a winter lay-up clause. That means you would agree to winterize your boat and store it in an interior storage facility &ndash; drydock. When you do this, the insurance company reduces your premium for the winter months when the boat remains unused. You still benefit from all of the coverage though.<\/p>\n<p>If something happens to your boat while in drydock, it still receives protection from insurance. This choice provides a much better outcome since if a fire or other hazard occurs, your boat still has coverage.<\/p>\n<p>When you cancel a policy, it also makes it tougher for you to get new insurance. You&rsquo;ll increase your premiums if you can get back on insurance at all. The only way for you to get new coverage is to buy a new boat.<\/p>\n<p>Contact Pro America Insurance serving Naples, FL, today for more information on winter lay-up and boat insurance. We can help you insure your boat or yacht in an affordable yet comprehensive manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opting for winter lay-up in Naples, FL can result in a temporary decrease in insurance costs since you promise to store your boat for the winter months and not use it at all.
