BVI charter question

[EBT531]

All of these BVI trips got me researching it and I'm about 80% we are going to rent a power cat for 7 days via Marinemax. One items i don't see in anyones posts, did you get the damage insurance at like $90 a day or did you do the Credit card hold for damage? I have State Farm on my boat, does that cover anything if I'm operating another persons boat? (they are closed right now, but obviously I'll call my agent to verify) What about Credit card coverage like a rental car? Any of these actually apply? Thanks!

Most likely they will be happyto write you several short term policies for...X..Y..Z
Ask for an imbrella policy to cover Everything from sink the boat to trip delay fees and airfare changes.....

I took their insurance at Marine max. Too many things to go wrong on a high dollar powercat.
Collision
Mooring ball gives way at night
Auto pilot puts you on a rock.
Other rental boat hits you trying to get on a mooring ball next to you.

We watched a charter sail boat under prop power lose it and ended up on the beach at Cooper island. We used our dingy to get him off the beach. I’m sure the keel was trashed

BTW one of the best vacations ever

We got the insurance thru marine max, seemed easier that way.

We've always opted for the insurance.

If I remember correctly we did the insurance through marine max.

I got the insurance including the convince and connection package that covers the dingy and lost/broken items like glassware and boat fenders.

Thanks, sounds like their insurance is the way to go.

I checked into my insurance with my agent and because BVI is a foriegn country my insurance wouldn't cover it but they could schedule the boat and write a policy for our trip. Turns out MarineMax Vacations insurance was a better deal.

You will have a few new addictions once you get there.

LOL about day 3 you'll be thinking, “ Lets sell everything, I think we could live full time on this”. About day 5 that changes to thoughts of partial ownership and renting it out. Happens to almost everyone. Just a heads up
