Just received the November Boat US newsletter, and this is an excerpt.
The BoatUS Catastrophe (CAT) Team, the largest one ever employed, immediately sprung into action, and is currently onsite assessing claims in multiple locations including New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. The number of claims from this single storm is unprecedented. Sadly, we anticipate this number will increase as boat owners gain access to the hardest hit and remote areas. Click here to view a few remarkable photos from the field.
In terms of overall recreational boat losses, we've initially estimated over 32,000 boats were damaged in New York, followed by New Jersey's 25,000, Connecticut's 2,500 and 6,000 remaining in various states. Dollar damage to recreational boats (only) in New York is estimated at $324 million, followed by $242 million in New Jersey and $23 million in Connecticut. Previously, the single largest storm damage event affecting recreational boats was 2011's Hurricane Irene (approximately $500 million in damage to boats). In the 2005 storm season, Hurricane Wilma and Katrina damage was estimated at over $700 million combined.
