Michigan Home Insurance That is a Shore Thing

Your waterfront home should be where family traditions are started, friendships forged and memories are made.  Whether your home on the water is your primary residence, your weekend retreat or your summer getaway, you want to be sure that you protect it properly.

The typical homeowner's insurance policy doesn't provide all of the coverages you need for the different hazards of a waterfront property.  Homes on the water have unique property to protect including boat lifts, docks, swim rafts, boat houses, and break walls.

Your waterfront home also faces distinctive hazards such as collapse due to hydrostatic pressure and wind driven ice.  That is why our partners have created a package of coverages specifically designed for the shoreline homeowner.  

**Only available for Michigan homes.

Don't forget, we can also insure your boat!  Learn more about watercraft insurance here.
