Be Prepared This Hurricane Season

Planning where your boat will best survive a storm, and what protective steps you need to take when a hurricane threatens, should begin before hurricane season. The BoatU.S. Marine Insurance claim files have shown that the probability of damage can be reduced considerably by choosing the most storm-worthy location possible and having your plan ready long before a hurricane warning is posted.


Boat Owner's Association of The United States (BoatUS) has some no-cost, downloadable hurricane prep guides to help boaters, marinas and boat clubs.
