Recreational Insurance FAQs

Your auto policy may provide some liability protection while you’re towing a camper, but it may not cover damage to the camper itself. A separate camper or travel trailer policy can provide additional protection for covered losses such as accidents, theft, vandalism, and weather-related damage.

Boat insurance can include liability, collision, comprehensive, medical payments, and coverage for certain equipment and personal belongings. For boat owners in Danvers and throughout the North Shore, towing or emergency assistance coverage may also be worth considering, especially if you enjoy boating along the Massachusetts coast or nearby waterways.

Yes. ATV liability coverage may help if you accidentally damage someone else’s property while riding. It can also provide protection if you’re responsible for an accident that injures another person. Coverage and limits vary, so it’s a good idea to understand what your policy includes before heading out to ride.

Homeowners insurance may provide only limited protection for a Jet Ski or other personal watercraft. A separate personal watercraft policy can offer broader coverage for liability, accidental damage, theft, and other covered losses both on and off the water.

Motorhome insurance may include coverage for personal belongings you keep inside your RV, such as clothing, camping gear, electronics, and kitchen supplies. Coverage limits vary, so it’s worth checking your personal property protection before leaving Danvers for a weekend getaway or a longer road trip.

Yes. Used motorhomes, campers, boats, ATVs, Jet Skis, and snowmobiles can generally be insured. The vehicle’s age, condition, value, and history may affect the coverage options available and what you’ll pay for insurance.

Comprehensive coverage generally helps protect your recreational vehicle against covered losses that aren’t caused by a collision. Depending on the policy, this can include theft, vandalism, fire, falling objects, and certain weather-related damage. In Massachusetts, that protection can be especially valuable with nor’easters, coastal storms, heavy snow, high winds, and freezing winter conditions.

Coverage may be available if your boat, ATV, Jet Ski, or snowmobile is damaged while being transported on a trailer. Whether a particular loss is covered depends on the recreational vehicle policy, any applicable trailer coverage, and how the accident occurred. Reviewing your coverage before transporting your equipment can help avoid unexpected gaps.

There may be several ways to save, including choosing a higher deductible, maintaining a good driving record, completing qualifying safety courses, or placing multiple policies with the same insurance company.
