Buying a boat for the Great Loop in 2026? Marine insurance can be one of the most confusing — and critical — pieces of the puzzle. This week, we continue our 2026 boat buying update with a deep dive into today’s marine insurance market. Is coverage still hard to find? Are premiums stabilizing?

Jon Horton of Jack Martin & Associates joins us to answer these questions and share expert insight on what buyers can expect this year. If a Great Loop boat is in your future, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
