The short answer

Boat and yacht policies cover named storm damage, but most contain a Hurricane Preparedness Plan requiring haul-out, indoor storage, or specific tie-down when NOAA issues a named storm watch. Failing to follow it voids the claim. Named storm deductibles (1–10% of hull value) usually apply.
