Is it possible to get boat insurance without getting the boat
surveyed?

Yes. Depends on the boat as to whether you may even be asked for one.
If you are talking about a trailered boat, they likely wouldn't ask
for one. The two companies I have used for mine only asked for a
couple of photos for their file.

On a larger boat, they *may* want a recent survey. On my cruiser, I
gave them a copy of the survey I used when I bought it three years
ago. They have not asked for another one since.
