@michaelmcfeely6588 Год назад

@@toadis6949 OK, reasonable answer. I wonder if there is a business model for a service that provides for the evacuation of an expensive asset. In exchange for reduced insurance premiums, the owner agrees to hand over the keys to professionals who work for an evacuation company. When a tropical storm is brewing south of Cuba and headed for Florida, for example, these professionals would be ordered into Florida for asset evacuation duty.

@TheWisconsinFishTank Год назад

I’m not sure if they do it for more expensive boats, but I know that will small personal planes, if you don’t move it before a big storm, the insurance companies will fight to not pay for the damages, because their logic is: it’s a plane, you could be anywhere else in a few hours.

I grew up on boats, sailing. Our boats held our blood, sweat tears and hearts. After family, pets, we'd have another family member in them. And in this case could split up get all to safety. No money could replace one . One person can move a boat as far as necessary. I can't understand this. We lived on our last two sailboats. We'd maintenances, cared for every inch inside and out, stem to stern. The varnish, paint, woodwork was done with love and pride. My dad showed me all that from a young age, I always knew our boat was sound. Not off the list. Letting them pile up like garbage is so wasteful and will make insurance harder to get each time a big storm hits. Don't see Ferraris piled up in the streets. Car, boat. Why?

@@turtleneckferret True, I overstate my feelings. But I also like having a feeling that taking a loss is not really, if an insurance company has to pay me for the worth of what I lost. That if they do, I didn't lose after all, because that leads to lots of people feeling it's ok I got paid for it. I like ethics and personal responsibility and accountability and not going down a road of being ok because I got an insurance check or if all else fails I will sue someone. But if money comes my way, it's ok. Doesn't matter if it is just, just so I get mine, those people aren't worried about their neighbors and if they got out of their house or much of anything besides their financial standing. Oops, there I go sharing my feelings again. Sorry. If you all had channels I could send each of you a superchat and make it right. It's my right, just as it's yours not to read comments you don't enjoy. Have a good day, may you not be in the storms path, my friend.

It's because most of them are credit card captains. I bet most of them have not left the dock in years. for the Rich its always status over utility with boats.

@paulmccarter908 Год назад

I wonder if these can be bought from the insurance co

@wa210 Год назад

Usually any decent ones end up at auctions. Also junk graveyards, where you can workna deal .

@carmineromano7400 Год назад

Ohh I'm sure the owners aren't worried at all... I'm sure the rich enough just to buy another one

@dennisanderson7034 Год назад

I wonder how many parked them there to collect insurance 🤣

@tankgirl3828 Год назад

Good question. Did they not have time to them out?

@ryannagy9244 Год назад

most of them I am sure. Rich get richer through insurance claims..

@candywilson8929 Год назад

These comments are repulsive! I live here and lived through the hurricane. These boat owners love their boats. No there wasn’t enough time to get all of the boats out. And these huge yachts require special treatments to get them out. In this area they are literally hundreds of thousands of boats. Please don’t talk about situation that you don’t have any inclination of understanding!

Speedway cover… no excuse for building something like that which cannot survive 200 mph wind.

Can you get hurricane insurance for a boat?

@KensGarage1 Год назад

Horrible destruction. I can't imagine having to deal with that.

I feel so sorry for someone with an extra million to put into a boat. It means so little to them that they'll leave it in the path of a hurricane. Their home must be at least four million + in an unsafe neighborhood with a lousy public school system. The plight of the multimillionaire shouldn't be understated. The struggle is real !

@pacificoceantsunami8497 Год назад

Million dollar yachts are no loss, snowglobe people issues, I feel for the ones that are hard workers and just trying to make it day to day that lost their homes and everything else...

@fw5532 Год назад

So the owners who hauled their yachts out pay lower premiums? But the cost to haul is covered.

@miltonmatthews2138 Год назад

There were some people who said they were going to ride out the storm in their boats. Don't know what happened to them.

@leonardprice5324 Год назад

Insurance should NOT cover this! Anyone who leaves their boat in the path of a hurricane, deserves to loose it! I say this as a boat owner myself!

@twizatch Год назад

Many people do not live there year round. And almost all of them don't have trailers. Just because you have some shitty pontoon boat on an inland lake doesn't mean you know what you're talking about

@brainthesizeofplanet Год назад

Valet parking .... Well honestly, as bad as it si, ppl who can afford such yachts usually can cope with the loss.compared to ppl living in trailer homes and now have nothing...

@marysimmons1683 Год назад

This is just to much so glad I didn't go down there my hometown omg prsers for every one.

@Annette_Hons Год назад

And if you can afford $1 million yacht, you can be sure they have insurance, they will be just fine. Let’s not worry about trivial stuff like this, there are legit homeless people who need help after this devastating storm

@timlawson817 Год назад

Like seeing that kind of destruction . Those rich guys boats help protect the beach .

@davidplant6805 Год назад

My mom, years ago, would say "oh how the mighty have fallen." Personally I think it was because we grew up broke and she just couldn't understand rich people.
