Ok, help me out here, I can't seem to find anything posted anywhere. What
do liveaboards do for personal property insurance? If I go cruising for a
couple years and have some stuff in storage, I would like to insure it and
probably some of the stuff on the boat also. Any thoughts or experience
with this?

We have what is sometimes called renter's insurance on personal
property. Check the policy to be sure what it will cover. It may
exempt stuff that is in storage.

As for stuff on the boat - mostly what I worry about is boat stuff
which is included I think under the policy for the boat. For things
like phones and cameras which aren't boat stuff, some policies limit
liability to $500.00, and most will have at least $100.00 deductible.

Of course you can self insure.

I run a ministorage facility and I know that many facilities have
insurance available for items stored with the premium based on the
declared value of the property stored. Not sure about insuring stuff
you have on board though
