For over 35 years, Hagerty has been committed to helping you protect your client's boats. We'll give your clients peace of mind that their boats are protected so they can enjoy the open water without worry.

What qualifies

Fiberglass boats

Most collectible fiberglass boats that are older than 1990 will be considered. The most collectible fiberglass boats are early generation models, have unique design or had a limited production run.

Wooden boats

Hagerty proudly offers an insurance program to protect most classic wooden boats. Whether your client owns an original Chris-Craft, Century, Gar Wood or a high-quality reproduction of a classic boat, we have a program for it. If it’s collectible, made of wood and in good to excellent condition, our program likely protects it.

Runabouts

Runabouts typically range in size from 14’ to 33’ and are characterized by a closed top deck with individual cockpits for seating. Examples include barrel back designs, larger triple cockpits and gentleman’s racers.

Utilities

Utilities typically range in size from 12’ to 30’ and are characterized by a large open interior with only the top deck forward of the windshield. They are some of the most popular designs, as the open interior lends them to a wide range of activities.

Launches

These vessels range in length from 16’ to 30’. They are an open configuration usually with seating able to accommodate several passengers. The earliest versions were powered by steam with later versions having small single cylinder gas powered engines.

Cruisers

Typically range from 26' on up and include a head (bathroom), galley (kitchen) and can accommodate overnight stays. Cruisers made of fiberglass, wood, steel or aluminum are eligible, however eligibility may be restricted in certain coastal areas. A minimum $10,000 hull value is required. A professional, out of water marine survey less than three years old is required.

Sailboats

Wooden hulled sailboats range from 12’ open boats to much larger vessels with full cabin facilities. There are several specific design types: Yawl, Gaff rig, Cutter, Catboat, Sloop and many others. An Out-of-Water survey may be required for sailboats over 26ft. Club racing is permitted.
