We baby our boat. We love the lifestyle. Insurance? Skippers’ Plan has it covered. Since we discovered the joy of antique boats, our life has changed. The lake, the camaraderie – there’s nothing like it. A boat like this sweetheart requires expert care. That’s why we moved to a company that really understands wooden boats and their needs. They’ve taken such good care of us, we placed our other insurance with them too, and that earned us a better rate! Boats!
