As your longtime neighborhood insurance agency, Costa Insurance is very familiar with our incredible waterfront and all of its beautiful coves, bays, inlets, and harbors. For over 50 years, it has been our great privilege to work with the many boat owners in New Bedford MA and all of the communities surrounding Buzzards Bay.

If you, too, are a recreational boater who regularly enjoys our coastal waters, then our knowledgeable and experienced team is here to ensure it’s a smooth ride for you and your passengers. We are your trusted advisors who can find you the best complement of insurance coverage for your watercraft at affordable rates and tailored to your vessel type, size, and usage, whether you own a:

  • Yacht
  • Sailboat
  • Powerboat
  • Jet Ski, Wave Runner, or Sea-Doo
  • And more…

It’s always a good idea to frequently review your watercraft coverage, but the beginning of the boating season is a particularly opportune time to sit down with your Gilbert J. Costa agent. When you run through your boat’s safety checklist, you should be able to confidently check off that you have an up-to-date and exceptional watercraft insurance policy in place that protects your boat, family, friends and your lifestyle.

Watercraft insurance from Gilbert J. Costa may be available on an agreed value, replacement cost or actual cash value basis for:
  • Hull
  • Machinery
  • Fittings
  • Furnishings
  • Permanently attached equipment
