Boat & Watercraft in Alaska
Hull, liability, and wreck-removal coverage. Homeowners policies cover only small craft, and only barely.
What is different in Alaska
Alaska carries the highest statutory bodily injury minimum in the country. Earthquake is a live exposure across Southcentral and is excluded from standard homeowners forms. Many communities off the road system are effectively unrated for fire protection, which limits admitted-market appetite and pushes risks to surplus lines.
