The Western Boaters Safety Group

Membership to WBSG has many benefits. One such advantage is the Marinedex, a biannual publication of over 300 approved marine service centers located throughout the Western United States. It is available online!

WBSG also provides two legislative advocates in Sacramento to protect the rights of boating members from bureaucratic regulation. These advocates have been successful in stopping additional unneeded regulation in the boating industry.

One of WBSG's newest services is the AquaPac Millennium Boat/Yacht Insurance Program. With coverage from the AquaPac Millennium Boat/Yacht Program, customers receive automatic membership to WBSG and the benefits mentioned above. The AquaPac Millennium program has been named "The new standard in boat/yacht insurance programs."

This program is insured by the Vantage Casualty Company, rated A- , and the Insurance Corporation of Hanover, rated A. Details of the program include an easy-to-read policy for both trailerable and non-trailerable boats and yachts, and has broad coverage. The AquaPac Millennium Program also has a flexible rating system that allows underwriters to tailor coverages and costs to individual specific boating needs.
