About Us

Your pontoon isn't a generic boat. Neither is your coverage.

Contractors Choice Agency built PontoonInsurance.com around a simple observation: pontoon owners boat differently than the offshore-fishing, performance-boating audience most boat insurance is written for. Seasonal use, inland lakes, and a boat full of family and friends are the norm, not the exception — so we built coverage around that reality instead of a flattened generic boat template.

Why pontoon-specific, not generic boat insurance

Most boat insurance shopping starts with a single generic form: boat length, engine horsepower, value. It rarely asks how many months a year you actually use the boat, whether you're on one lake or several, or how many people you typically carry — and those differences change what coverage actually fits, not just what it costs. A policy that ignores your real off-season isn't cheaper insurance, it's a missed savings opportunity every single year.

We built this agency's pontoon process around eight distinct coverage categories — liability, physical damage, seasonal lay-up, lake-type and navigation limits, towing and on-water assistance, personal property, guest and passenger liability, and a clear explanation of how pontoon coverage differs from general boat and marine insurance — each reasoned around how pontoon owners actually use the water.

What that looks like in practice

  • Your quote starts with your boat and your lake, not a generic boat category.
  • We ask about your real season length and structure lay-up dates to match it — often the single biggest lever on your annual premium.
  • Navigational limits are set to where you actually boat, whether that's one lake, a few regular lakes, or connected water.
  • Guest and passenger liability is sized to your real passenger load, not treated as an afterthought.
