Why
Boats Are A Pleasure —
But You Still Need Boat Insurance
 One
of the greatest pleasures that a man can have is owning his own
boat. It goes back to the days of adventure on the high seas when
a man was absolute monarch of his realm as a captain of his ship.
Today there
are very few places that the average man can be master and commander
of his own destiny. But owning a boat is not without risk or expense.
At one time cannons and carronades protected the owner and captain
from loss today it is boat insurance that protects a man from
loss.
It might seem
like a small thing but boat insurance is essential to protecting
an asset that you might have worked your entire life to own.
The greatest
joy in boating is that you are responsible for your own fate.
That means responsible and in some sense autonomous from the rest
of the world. What boat owner hasn't dreamed of sailing to the
Sea of Cortez?
All alone
with just the deep blue quiet all around you and the vault of
stars above to light your way; what could be better? Listening
to the plaintive whale song off the coast of Hawaii while your
family sits in happy companionship, that is the way to spend your
leisure.
But you need
to have the assets to enjoy that leisure. Also even in the most
peaceful of times boating entails some risk, that is why boating
insurance is an absolute necessity.
Owning a boat
is the goal of many retirees. Owning and operating a boat correctly
requires the skill, desire, and time to care for her correctly.
It also requires the wherewithal, assets and boat insurance to
protect what you have. Your retirement is far too precious to
risk.
It makes no
sense to gain your heart's desire and then to lose it in a storm
or to bad navigation. Even if you survive without harm losing
your boat can be devastating so protect what you have. And if
you have the right vessel and the desire why not have a nice shiny
brass carronade to salute the sunsets?
