The friendliest place on the web for anyone who enjoys boating.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
One thing that might help is taking some Sail & Power Squadron Courses.
Some insurance Co's look positively on those that take the initiative to learn before heading out with a "new" boat...also they usually offer discounts for courses and USPS membership
USPS is a great resource for those getting started as well as those wanting to expand their horizons Knowledge + experience builds confidence.
You will also gain a network of people with similar interests.

I've also known insurers to require one to use a captain initially and/or to have a captain certify they believe you're adequately knowledgeable to start on your own. I knew one person for whom that was one day out with a good training captain.
 
Mainship 34 Pilothouse, for the win.... 14,000 pounds, and low air draft. : )


Second ? the Mainship 34. Diesel engine, protected propeller, shallow water draft and room for a small crowd in the cockpit.
