With only owning bay boats you don't have enough experience for the majority of the insurers out there to offer coverage. Your partner may have the experience and might pass but you will not be able to pilot the boat without him.
If he has no experience with said boat size nobody is going to insure.
That's primarily what you're missing.

Sounds like a horrible idea. Get ready to pay a ton in maintenance and stuff always breaking. Overnight for tuna/ marlin realistically is hit front runner in green canyon and that is 80 plus miles from caminada pass. Id would suggest troll with 80s if dead set on marlin and learn how to live bait blackfin how big boys do it. Oh and can always buy an omniscope as well what the big boys all use like 150k dollar transducer. Get ready for a money pit........Big boy game owning a big slow sporty probably need a atl fuel locker just to get to green canyon with that fuel burn.

Age of boat, agreed value, top speed, past claims, location, and experience are all factors in regards to annual insurance premiums.

Top speed is a significant contributing factor with large trip engine CC's. 70+ mph boats costs $$$ to insure.
