Florida Hurricane Boat Preparation: A Practical Starting Point

Florida boat owners should plan ahead of hurricane season. This general checklist is a starting point; follow official guidance and your marina's rules.

Before the season

Write a plan for where your boat will go if a storm threatens: haul-out, trailer relocation, or securing in place. Confirm what your marina requires.

Documents

Keep copies of your registration, policy and declarations page, plus recent photos of the boat, somewhere safe and off the boat.

Insurance questions to ask

Ask how a policy handles named storms, whether it has a separate named-storm deductible, and whether it expects a hurricane plan or offers haul-out assistance. Terms vary by insurer.
