THE TRUTH ABOUT SAILBOAT INSURANCE | Everything You Need to Know!

There’s a ton of confusion out there about sailboat insurance—especially when it comes to older sailboats or wooden boats. Some say you can’t get coverage. Others claim the process is a nightmare. So we went straight to the source.

In this episode, Canadian Ken and I sit down with Paul Miner, owner of Compass Insurance Group, whose main business is—you guessed it—insuring boats. From classic wooden sailboats to fiberglass cruisers, lobster boats to bluewater passagemakers, Paul’s seen it all.

You’ll hear:
- Why older and even wooden boats can be insured
- What underwriters really look for in a boat survey
- The most common mistakes boat owners make when applying for insurance
- What impacts your premium (and what doesn’t!)
- The truth about liveaboard status, hurricane zones, and more

Bottom line? If you’ve ever dreamed of buying an older boat but were scared off by the word "insurance," this episode is for you. Let’s bust the myths and get you back on course.

FOR COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY, WE ARE NOT INSURED THROUGH PAUL'S COMPANY AND HAVE NO FINANCIAL AGREEMENTS WITH HIM. THIS EPISODE IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES.
