Key points
- List every unit and regular operator

Operators and passengers
Tell the provider who will operate the PWC and whether guests may use it. Policies can include age, licensing, or permissive-use conditions.
Damage, theft, and trailer
Compare deductibles and settlement for collision, theft, storm, and vandalism. Ask whether the trailer and accessories are included or separately limited.
Multiple units and storage
Owners with more than one PWC should list each unit, value, and trailer. Storage at a residence, marina, or seasonal location can affect risk.

Are guest operators covered?
