The USS Constitution has been afloat since the 18th century, and you can still walk her deck today.&nbsp;Hausmann Insurance &amp; Financial Services serving Charlotte, NC wants you to know your boating insurance needs so you can be financially confident whether you&#8217;re cruising the Atlantic or boating around Lake Norman.<\/p>\n<h2>Does Insurance Cover Older Boats?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>In a broad sense, insurance policies may cover just about anything that is not a crime perpetrated by the policyholder. Residents of Waxhaw, NC or the larger Charlotte area&nbsp;do not have to worry directly about the age of the boat. Instead, the split is between smaller boats under 26 feet as boatowners&#8217; policies, with larger boats covered under yacht policies. Like any other insured vehicle, the insurer will assess the condition of the boat and the intended operators when determining the terms of a policy.<\/p>\n<h2>Do Older Boats Need Insurance?<\/h2>\n<p>Insurance requirements vary between states, but North Carolina residents do not have to carry a minimum level of insurance.&nbsp;Smaller boats may also qualify for limited coverage from a homeowners&#8217; policy. In a financial sense, being in a boating accident without at least minimum liability coverage can be a recipe for disaster.<\/p>\n<h2>Check If Your Old Boat Needs Insurance Today<\/h2>\n<p>Hausmann Insurance &amp; Financial Services knows that Waxhaw, NC and nearby friends work hard and need to carefully balance costs like insurance premiums with the realities of day-to-day life.
