And then you have those hedge fund managers, patent holders, other types of extremely wealthy folks that simply don't have insurance because they don't need it. I remember touring Port Royal in Naples and being surprised to hear that several people who own homes there don't have insurance, because even a catastrophic loss is a drop in the bucket to them.
I don't know what kind of guy owned that MTI, but I hope for his sake he is one of those types of people.

A turbine boat is about $4k a year per $100k of insured value.
So, a $500k boat will run you about $20k a year for insurance.
This isn't a guess, I write the check every year.
Turbine boats can be insured like any other piston boat, they are not uninsurable like most people think.

If you don't have a mortgage then you can gamble with saving money. If you live in an old tear down style house then you probably don't care. My current house went through four Cat 3 or stronger storms with zero damage but I happily pay the insurance every year because I don't have the net worth to absorb losing the house to save a few thousand.
If I won the lottery........I wouldn't pay insurance!

Sad to see such a great boat lost. Glad everyone was ok.
I have an agreed upon value for my boat and trailer, insured for the entire eastern US (except Florida in Hurricane season) and I have a 6 month layup. This keeps me at under 2%. If I want to use the boat during the layup period, I simply put a rider on it for the event or length of time I need and that only costs me an additional $100 dollars or so per event.
