Overall Rating: 2.8 / 5 (Average)

As per industry standards, Liberty Mutual offers liability and property damage coverages under its boat insurance product. Unfortunately, the company's website provides scant information on other policy features. Interested parties must call and speak with an agent to receive a quote, a factor that places the company a step behind the competition with regard to service features. The fact that boat insurance requires an existing home insurance policy may also limit the usefulness of this policy to current Liberty Mutual customers.

Liberty Mutual Coverage & Benefits

Coverage & Benefits - 3 / 5

Among its boat insurance coverages, Liberty Mutual offers bodily injury liability, a physical damages coverage, emergency services, and coverage for accessories like oars, life vests, and anchors. The only default coverage appears to be the liability option, meaning the company will charge additional fees for add-on benefits. Unfortunately, it's website doesn't provide much information on other available coverages or insurable boat types. It does, however, note that to purchase a boat insurance policy, consumers must also have home insurance through Liberty Mutual.
