Like many of you, I had my Boat US insurance rates skyrocket this year for no reason other than GEICO likely has to pay for all their TV advertisements. Never had a claim in 18 years and it jumped from $1200 to $1660. Luckily, I noticed it before my wife sent them a check. I since have signed with NBOA and they use CHUBB for most of their coverage. My new policy has the same exact coverage, and even gave me an extra $200K in liability, all for a grand total of $901 per year.
I unfortunately had already paid my separate Boat US towing package which was $ 149 per year. NBOA's would be $75 per year,, same 24 X 7 coverage.
I'm just putting this out there as I think GEICO is seriously taking advantage of boaters and trying to slip this new rate increase in without warning, hoping folks don't notice. NBOA told me they've been replacing a lot of BOAT US (GEICO) policies of late.
Happy boating!
