Overall Rating: 4.2 / 5 (Excellent)

USPS Boat Insurance is an exceptional provider of boat insurance coverages and benefits; however, it limits its program to members of the United States Power Squadrons (USPS). It offers automatic coverage on fuel spills and immediate waterskiing coverage, which is typically sold as an add-on through other carriers. The website provides concise and easy to understand information without any fluff, making it much more informative than aesthetically pleasing. Further consolidating its place as a top boat insurance provider is the fact that the program works with three highly-rated underwriters, all of which carry superior A.M. Best ratings.
