Our boat insurance will not cover us for Cuba. Do marinas require insurance? Is there a company that we can get insurance just for the time we are in Cuba. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Looking for insurance company/broker recommendations for SW Florida. I know there are numerous factors that are considered in pricing, but, if I budget ~$3,000yr for $80K agreed value/$5K deduct... am I in the ball park? Please advise. Thanks!
