Towing and Assistance Coverage
This country to tow your boat or trailer from the water or a road to the nearest safe location. Assistance can include delivering gas, oil, tires or replacement parts and the labor at the site. But note that the cost of the gas, oil, tires or parts aren’t covered.
Coverage for Hired Crew
This endorsement extends your Geico boat liability insurance to liability arising from the Jones Act, Death on the High Seas Act or General Maritime Law.
Mechanical Breakdown
If your boat is less than 11 years old and you’re buying hull and towing coverage, you may be eligible to add Geico’s mechanical breakdown coverage for boats.
Ice and Freeze Coverage
This add-on coverage pays you the boat’s actual cash value if it’s damaged by ice and freezing. Without it, ice and freezing is generally excluded.
Charter Guide
You can add insurance if you use your boat as a charter guide service, such as taking customers out on fishing or sightseeing excursions.
Cruising Limit Extensions for the Bahamas or Bahamas and Caribbean
Geico boat insurance generally covers you in US and Canadian coastal and inland waters.

Private Dock Liability
This endorsement adds liability coverage for your private dock to your main boat liability insurance.
Captain’s Liability
Do you employ a captain or other paid crew? This endorsement would make them a named insured on the boat insurance policy.
Geico’s Platinum Plus Boat Insurance
Geico’s Platinum Plus is a boat insurance package that offers increased coverage amounts for emergency services, medical payments, personal effects and additional marine environmental damage.
