THIS CASE was tried before the Court.
*1368I. SUMMARY OF THE CASE
On March 13, 2016, GEICO Marine Insurance Company issued a liability only marine insurance policy for James Shackleford's vessel, Sea the World . On June 17, 2016, the Vessel suffered damage from inclement weather while moored near Fort Lauderdale. GEICO seeks a declaratory judgment that the policy does not cover the loss because Shackleford breached a navigational warranty in the policy, the implied warranty of seaworthiness, and the maritime duty of uberrimae fidei (utmost good faith).
II. FACTUAL FINDINGS and CONCLUSIONS
A. Purchase of Vessel and Prior Claims
In 2009, Shackleford purchased Sea the World , a 1981 65' Irwin sailing vessel, for approximately $ 120,000. She was insured with Continental Insurance Company. Sea the World was subsequently damaged by a lightning strike. And in 2012, she suffered additional damage as a result of negligent repairs at Sailor's Wharf, a yacht yard on the west coast of Florida. In November 2014, Shackleford settled his claim for damages with CNA and Boat Owners Association of the United States (Boat U.S.), a marine manager that writes, underwrites, and manages claims for insurance companies, including GEICO. (Settlement Agreement, Plaintiff's Ex. 5). In the agreement, the parties agreed that the Vessel was a constructive total loss. In the agreement, CNA and Boat U.S. assigned their rights to pursue claims against Sailor's Wharf to Shackleford. Shackleford sued Sailor's Wharf for damage to the Vessel's hull, the result of improper blocking. The improper blocking resulted in oil canning, or flexing, of her hull. While the lawsuit against Sailor's Wharf was pending, minimal repair work was completed on the Vessel and she remained moored in the water.
B. Inception of the Policy
In March 2016, Shackleford engaged Taylor Boat Works to haul the Vessel from the water for repairs. Since Taylor Boat Works required liability insurance, Shackleford called GEICO on March 11, 2016 and requested a liability only policy. GEICO issued that policy on March 13, 2016. The next day, GEICO amended coverage to "Port Risk Ashore," which provided "no coverage for navigation, and [that] coverage will only apply to the insured vessel while the boat is out of the water." It is apparent, therefore, and I so find, that at the inception of the policy, GEICO knew of the condition of the Vessel.
GEICO contends that at the inception of the policy, the Vessel was unseaworthy.1 That contention is disingenuous. When the liability only policy was issued, Shackleford had no intention of sailing the Vessel anywhere, and GEICO knew this. His only intention was to have her hauled from the water for repairs, which GEICO also knew. And tellingly, GEICO's policy did not provide coverage for her hull and equipment. She was, therefore, reasonably fit for hauling from the water, the intended use. See Aguirre v. Citizens Cas. Co. of New York , 441 F.2d 141, 144 (5th Cir. 1971). And based on Boat U.S.'s experience with the Vessel, including its participation in Shackleford's prior claim for damages against CNA and the settlement, I find that by inference, GEICO knew that the Vessel required extensive repairs when it issued the policy. Indeed, Shackleford credibly testified that he informed GEICO
*1369that she required an extensive refit and repairs.2
C. Navigational Restrictions
The policy provided coverage "[w]hile the boat is afloat within the navigational area shown on the Declarations Page." The Declarations Page did not, however, include a "navigational area." Rather, the March 13 Declarations Page included "Cruising Limits:"
U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coastal waters and inland water tributary thereto between Eastport, ME and Brownsville, TX, inclusive and the waters of the Bahamas including the Turks and Caicos, however the boat must be north of Cape Hatteras, NC from June 1 until November 1 annually.
(Plaintiff's Ex. 1, Dkt. 71-39). And, as noted, the Cruising Area on the application stated "Coastal and Inland waters of the U.S. & Canada." (Vessel Application, Defendant's Ex. 2, Dkt. 72-2).
D. March 14, 2016 Endorsement
The day after the policy was issued, a Port Risk Ashore amendment to coverage was added which provided that "[t]his restriction provides no coverage for navigation, and coverage will only apply to the insured vessel while the boat is out of the water." (Policy, Plaintiff's Ex, 1, Dkt. 71-39). That day, GEICO added hull coverage of $264,000 after determining her value. (Policy, Plaintiff's Ex. 1, Dkt. 71-39; Activity Log, Plaintiff's Ex. 7, Dkt. 71-7). GEICO noted that the Vessel was at NE Taylor Boatworks in Bradenton, Florida. (Activity Log, Plaintiff's Ex. 7, Dkt. 71-1). The intended purpose of the Vessel at the time of the endorsement was noted as out of water storage. Consistent with that, the Navigation Area on the March 14 Endorsement was blank, and the Cruising Limits on the March 14 Declarations Page stated Port Risk Ashore.
When the Vessel was hauled out, the oil canning which had been observed at Sailor's Wharf was reduced from 10-12 inches to approximately half an inch. After observing the hull correction, Shackleford realized that the presumed structural damage from the oil canning was corrected and the Vessel may not be a constructive total loss. On March 14, an out of water survey of the Vessel was completed. (Plaintiff's Ex. 6, Dkt. 71-6). On May 21, 2016, an additional in-water survey was completed. (Defendant's Ex. 5, Dkt. 72-3).
E. May 27, 2016 Endorsement
In May 2016, Shackleford requested that GEICO remove the Port Risk Ashore restriction so that he could sail the Vessel to *1370Fort Lauderdale for extensive repairs. He requested "full coverage." GEICO knew, therefore, that the Vessel would be sailed to Fort Lauderdale within a few days for repairs. Shackleford testified that a cruising or navigational limit was "absolutely" not discussed during that conversation, and I find his testimony in that regard credible. Indeed, GEICO's Activity Log is silent on that.3 (Activity Log, Plaintiff's Ex. 7, Dkt. 71-7).
To remove the Port Risk Ashore endorsement, GEICO required a survey. Shackleford provided GEICO with the Rich Parrey survey and Steven Berlin's survey addendum. After reviewing those surveys, GEICO recorded the Vessel's condition as "Good," with a fair market value of $345,000, higher than the insured value. (Activity Log, Plaintiff's Ex. 7, Dkt. 71-7). And, on May 27, GEICO removed the Port Risk Ashore endorsement. (Policy, Plaintiff's Ex. 1, Dkt. 71-39; Activity Log, Plaintiff's Ex. 7, Dkt. 71-7). GEICO emailed Shackleford, confirming receipt of the survey and that it "was able to remove the port risk ashore restriction" and "attached a copy of the updated declarations page outlining the removal of this restriction." (Email, Plaintiff's Ex. 2, Dkt. 71-2).4
The May 27 Endorsement, like the March 14 Endorsement, had a blank space following "Navigation Area." However, the May 27 Declarations Page, unlike the March 14 Declarations Page, stated:
CRUISING LIMITS: While afloat, the insured Yacht shall be confined to the waters indicated below:
(There is no coverage outside of this area without the Company's written permission.)
U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coastal waters and inland water tributary thereto between Eastport, ME and Brownsville, TX, inclusive and the waters of the Bahamas including the Turks and Caicos, however the boat must be north of Cape Hatteras, NC from June 1 until November 1 annually.
F. Voyage to Fort Lauderdale
Within a day or two of the May 27 Endorsement, Shackleford sailed the Vessel to Fort Lauderdale. In early June, while she was anchored in Lake Sylvia near Fort Lauderdale, a storm caused her to drag anchor and lodge against a seawall. As a result, she took on water and suffered damage. Shackleford contracted with a boat yard, Cracker Boy, to haul the Vessel out for repairs and filed a claim under the GEICO policy. In August 2016, Michael McCook, a marine loss investigator, inspected the Vessel at Cracker Boy.
G. Condition of the Vessel before the Trip to Fort Lauderdale
McCook was familiar with the Vessel prior to his inspection in August 2016 because he had inspected her as part of Shackleford's prior claim against CNA and Boat U.S. Indeed, GEICO, through its marine manager, Boat U.S., was aware of the prior claim, the damages the Vessel had suffered, and the terms of the settlement in which the Vessel was declared a constructive total loss.
*1371According to McCook, the reasons for the Vessel taking on water were unrelated to his opinion regarding her seaworthiness. According to him, the Vessel took on water during the storm in Fort Lauderdale because a PVC fitting, rather than a bronze cap fitting, had been used on a plug and debris had fallen on the float switch, preventing the bilge pump from operating properly.5
Regarding her seaworthiness, McCook testified that the Vessel was unseaworthy to sail to Fort Lauderdale based on her faulty electrical system and structural damage. His testimony regarding the electrical system was based on a previous survey he reviewed that was not submitted as evidence, "various system failures" Shackleford experienced while sailing, and Shackleford having been shocked by the stove on the Vessel. And, he relied on her state of disarray while she was being repaired at Cracker Boy. McCook's testimony is not persuasive, and does not support GEICO's contentions.
The testimony of Steven Berlin, the marine surveyor Shackleford hired in the Sailor's Wharf litigation, was read into evidence. According to Berlin, the inverter, which converts DC power into AC power, was damaged. Shackleford testified, however, that he was aware of the electrical problems on the Vessel but that AC power was not needed to sail to Fort Lauderdale. And GEICO presented no evidence that AC power was necessary to sail the Vessel or operate her bilge pump.6 Since AC power was not necessary to sail the vessel to Fort Lauderdale, damages to the inverter did not render the Vessel reasonably unfit for that use. I am, therefore, unpersuaded that any perceived electrical issues rendered the Vessel reasonably unfit to sail to Fort Lauderdale.
McCook's testimony regarding the separated bulk heads and structural integrity of the Vessel is likewise unpersuasive. On March 14, Berlin conducted an out of water survey and inspected her hull. At that time, the hull "did not show any evidence of any structural weaknesses. The bottom was sounded and found in good condition with no evidence of delamination detected ....There was some minor 'Oil Canning' ..., but the noted 'Oil Canning' [was] not affecting the structural integrity[.]" (Defendant's Ex. 4, Dkt. 72-2). And on May 24, just prior to the trip to Fort Lauderdale, Rich Parrey conducted an in-water survey of the Vessel. Using "hammer testing," Parrey found that the hull was "structurally good," and the "[t]hrough hulls that could be seen with the boat in water were inspected, good condition, and secure to the hull." (Defendant's Ex. 5, Dkt. 72-3). As noted, McCook testified that the partial flooding of the Vessel was related to the debris falling on the switch and fitting, not from structural damage.
In sum, McCook's opinion that the Vessel was unseaworthy to sail to Fort Lauderdale is undermined by other credible evidence, and is therefore rejected. It is undisputed that the Vessel successfully sailed from Bradenton to Fort Lauderdale, without AC power. And, two marine surveyors, who inspected the Vessel before the trip, found no evidence of structural weaknesses. Accordingly, I find that the Vessel was reasonably fit for the trip from Bradenton to Fort Lauderdale.
*1372III. FINDINGS and CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Count I - Breach of the Navigational Warranty
GEICO contends that Shackleford breached the navigational warranty because the Vessel was south of Cape Hatteras in June 2016 when the loss occurred. To determine whether the navigational warranty was breached, it must be determined whether the policy included a navigational warranty. I find that it did not.
"[I]n the absence of a specific and controlling rule, the interpretation or construction of a marine insurance contract is to be determined by state law." All Underwriters v. Weisberg , 222 F.3d 1309, 1313 (11th Cir. 2000) ; see Gulf Tampa Drydock Co. v. Great Atl. Ins. Co. , 757 F.2d 1172, 1174 (11th Cir. 1985) ("[A]dmiralty courts will generally look to appropriate state law in determining questions involving a marine insurance contract."). As there is no controlling rule of federal law governing interpretation of inconsistencies between an insurance policy and an endorsement, the interpretation of the policy is determined by Florida law. See LaMadrid v. Nat'l Union Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburgh, PA , 567 Fed.Appx. 695, 699 (11th Cir. 2014) ; Fenby v. M/V Three D of Guernsey , 217 Fed.Appx. 846, 848 (11th Cir. 2007).
Under Florida law, an insurance policy should be construed in its entirety and given a construction reflecting the intent of the parties. Gulf Tampa Drydock , 757 F.2d at 1174. " '[I]f the relevant policy language is susceptible to more than one reasonable interpretation, one providing coverage and the [sic] another limiting coverage, the insurance policy is considered ambiguous.' " Ruderman ex rel Schwartz v. Washington Nat. Ins. Corp. , 671 F.3d 1208, 1211 (11th Cir. 2012), certified question answered sub nom. Washington Nat. Ins. Corp. v. Ruderman , 117 So.3d 943 (Fla. 2013) (quoting Auto-Owners Ins. Co. v. Anderson , 756 So.2d 29, 34 (Fla. 2000) ). And when policy language is unclear, "the language must be construed against the insurer." Gulf Tampa Drydock , 757 F.2d at 1174. Finally, and significant here, "to the extent an endorsement is inconsistent with the body of the policy, the endorsement controls." Steuart Petroleum Co. v. Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's London , 696 So.2d 376, 379 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997).
As noted in the Order denying summary judgment, GEICO's contention that Shackleford breached the navigational warranty because the Vessel was south of Cape Hatteras when the loss occurred seems straightforward, because the Vessel was outside the cruising limits prescribed in the Declarations Page when the loss occurred. And that remains GEICO's position. A careful analysis of the policy and its endorsements, however, reveals an inconsistency between the endorsement and Declarations Page issued on May 27, 2016 with respect to whether there was a navigational restriction in effect when the loss occurred.
To put the issue of whether Shackleford breached a navigational warranty in the proper context, a brief, albeit repetitive, review of the history of the policy is helpful. GEICO issued the policy on a liability only basis on March 13, 2016. The "General Conditions" section of the policy provided:
Where Covered:
Coverage is provided:
A. While the boat is afloat within the navigational area shown on the Declarations Page; and
B. While the boat or its equipment is ashore or being transported by land conveyance in the United States or Canada.
(Policy, Plaintiff's Ex. 1 at 22, Dkt. 71-39). However, as noted, the Declarations Page did not have a "Navigational Area," but included a section titled "Cruising Limits" that *1373specified that "the boat must be north of Cape Hatteras, NC from June 1 until November 1 annually." (Id. at 2).
Consistent with Shackleford's intention to haul the Vessel from the water, on March 14, 2016, GEICO issued an endorsement that amended coverage to "Port Risk Ashore," which provided "no coverage for navigation, and [that] coverage will only apply to the insured vessel while the boat is out of the water." (Id. at 8). The "Navigation Area" section in the endorsement was accordingly left blank, since the Vessel would be out of the water, And the Cruising Limits section of the Declarations Page issued with the endorsement provided that coverage is "Port Risk Ashore." (Id. at 7).
Intending to take the Vessel to Fort Lauderdale for repairs, Shackleford telephoned and emailed GEICO, requesting removal of the Port Risk Ashore restriction and "full coverage,"7 so that he could sail her to Fort Lauderdale that week for repairs. Although Shackleford's May 26, 2016 email requesting removal of the Port Risk Ashore restriction was not introduced, GEICO acknowledges that he sent the email, (Dkt. 66 at p. 14). And, as required by GEICO, he provided the Rich Parrey survey and an addendum to Steven Berlin's survey, in support of his request. He began the voyage to Fort Lauderdale at the end of May 2016 and successfully completed it. And the loss occurred in Fort Lauderdale in June 2016.
GEICO argues that the navigational limit in the March 13 Declarations Page controls, and Shackleford, therefore, breached the navigational warranty because the Vessel was south of Cape Hatteras when the loss occurred. Shackleford counters that the May 27 Endorsement that removed the Port Risk Ashore restriction without providing a navigational limitation controls over the inconsistent Declarations Page, and that any ambiguities between the two must be construed against GEICO as the drafter.
As noted, the May 27 Endorsement removed the Port Risk Ashore restriction, but left the "Navigation Area" section blank. The policy provided coverage "[w]hile the boat is afloat within the navigational area shown on the Declarations Page[.]" (emphasis added). But there was not a "Navigational Area" in the Declarations *1374Page. Rather, a "Cruising Limits" section was included which provided that "[t]here is no coverage outside of this area [, north of Cape Hatteras, NC during hurricane season,] without the Company's written permission."8 Accordingly, there is an inconsistency between the May 27 Endorsement and the Declarations Page. In that circumstance, and determinative here, the endorsement controls. Steuart Petroleum , 696 So.2d at 379. There was, therefore no "Navigational Area" specified in the endorsement.9
Moreover, any ambiguity arising from the inconsistency between the May 27 Endorsement and Declarations Page with respect to navigational limits "is to be liberally construed in favor of coverage and strictly against the insurer." Washington Nat. Ins. Corp. v. Ruderman , 117 So.3d 943, 951 (Fla. 2013) (answering certified question from the Eleventh Circuit); see LaMadrid , 567 Fed.Appx. at 699 ; Aetna Ins. Co. v. Webb , 251 So.2d 321, 323 (Fla. 1st DCA 1971) ; New Amsterdam Cas. Co. v. Addison , 169 So.2d 877, 881 (Fla. 2d DCA 1964) ("[A]mbiguous, equivocal, or uncertain" terms "are to be construed strictly and most strongly against the insurer and liberally in favor of the insured so as to effect the dominant purpose of payment to the insured.").
I conclude, therefore, liberally construing the policy in favor of coverage, that as of May 27, the policy did not include a navigational warranty.10 It follows, therefore, *1375that Shackleford did not breach a navigational warranty.
Count II - Breach of Absolute Implied Warranty of Seaworthiness
In Count II, GEICO contends that the policy is void because Shackleford breached the absolute implied warranty of seaworthiness at the inception of the policy. Shackleford counters that the parties contracted out of the implied warranty.
A. Whether the vessel was unseaworthy at the inception of the policy
In admiralty, a vessel owner impliedly warrants the seaworthiness of a vessel at the inception of an insurance policy. State Nat'l Ins. Co. v. Anzhela Explorer, L.L.C. , 812 F.Supp.2d 1326, 1365 (S.D. Fla. 2011) (citing Kilpatrick Marine Piling v. Fireman's Fund Ins. Co. , 795 F.2d 940, 945 (11th Cir. 1986) ); Employers Ins. of Wausau v. Occidental Petroleum Corp. , 978 F.2d 1422, 1432 (5th Cir. 1992) ("The insured breaches this first warranty [, the absolute implied warranty of seaworthiness,] if the vessel is in fact unseaworthy when the policy becomes effective."); L & L Marine Serv., Inc. v. Ins. Co. of N. Am. , 796 F.2d 1032, 1035 (8th Cir. 1986) ("The first is an absolute warranty by the assured that a vessel is seaworthy at the time that the insurance policy attaches."); Gulfstream Cargo, Ltd. v. Reliance Ins. Co. , 409 F.2d 974, 983 (5th Cir. 1969).
If the implied warranty of seaworthiness applies and a vessel is unseaworthy at the inception of the policy, there is a breach of the implied warranty of seaworthiness and the policy is void. Gulfstream Cargo, Ltd. , 409 F.2d at 983. A vessel is seaworthy if it is "reasonably fit for the intended use." Aguirre , 441 F.2d at 144. And, "[d]etermining the seaworthiness of a vessel at a particular moment in time is the responsibility of the trier of fact." Id.
As noted, when the policy was issued, the intended use of the Vessel was for her to be hauled out of the water for repairs. She was therefore "seaworthy" for that intended use, as she was reasonably fit to be hauled out, Indeed, at its inception, the policy did not provide for hull coverage and was issued by GEICO on a liability only basis, and GEICO noted the intended use as out of water storage.11 Assuming, therefore, that an absolute implied warranty of seaworthiness was implied *1376in the policy, Shackleford could not have breached it, since the Vessel was fit to be hauled out of the water for repairs at the inception of the policy.12
B. Whether the parties contracted out of the implied warranty of seaworthiness
GEICO contends that the Vessel was not seaworthy for the trip to Fort Lauderdale. As discussed, that contention is not supported by the evidence. In any event, I find alternatively that the parties contracted out of the implied warranty of seaworthiness.
Unlike the effect of a breach of the absolute implied warranty of seaworthiness in admiralty, under Florida law, a breach of a warranty in a marine insurance policy does not void the policy, unless the breach increased the hazard insured against. Fireman's Fund Ins. Co. v. Cox , 742 F.Supp. 609, 611 (M.D. Fla.), aff'd , 892 F.2d 87 (11th Cir. 1989) ; see Fla. Stat. § 627.409. In Florida, the insurer must demonstrate a causal connection between the breach of warranty and the loss to avoid coverage. See Commercial Union Ins. Co. v. Flagship Marine Servs., Inc. , 190 F.3d 26, 32 (2d Cir. 1999) (observing that Florida does not require strict compliance with all warranties, and requires, "unlike the majority of states," "that the insurer demonstrate a causal connection between a breach of warranty and the loss in order to avoid coverage" (citation omitted) ). The law " 'is designed to prevent the insurer from avoiding coverage on a technical omission playing no part in the loss.' " Windward Traders, Ltd. v. Fred S. James & Co. of New York , 855 F.2d 814, 818 (11th Cir. 1988) (quoting Pickett v. Woods , 404 So.2d 1152, 1153 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981) ). If, therefore, the parties contracted out of the absolute implied warranty of seaworthiness and Florida law applies, GEICO must show that the Vessel's unseaworthiness increased the risk that she would take on water and suffer damage during a storm.
"[P]arties are free to 'contract-out' or 'contract around' state or federal law with regard to a[ ] [marine] insurance contract, so long as there is nothing void as to public policy or statutory law about such a contract." King v. Allstate Ins. Co. , 906 F.2d 1537, 1540 (11th Cir. 1990). Although the implied warranty of seaworthiness may be "entrenched" in federal maritime jurisprudence, a policy may alter the traditional implied warranty. Id. at 1541 (there is "no public policy problem whatsoever in parties to a maritime insurance contract setting the terms of the policy between them, we uphold their freedom to do so"); Aguirre , 441 F.2d at 146 ; Anzhela Explorer , 812 F.Supp.2d at 1377.
In the policy, GEICO and Shackleford agreed that Florida law applies in the event of a conflict between Florida law and the terms of the policy. Specifically, they agreed that "[a]ny terms of this policy that conflict with the laws of the state where this policy is issued are considered amended to conform to such laws." (Policy, Plaintiff's Ex. 1, Dkt. 71-39). Accordingly, Florida law, rather than admiralty law, applies with respect to GEICO's claim of breach of the absolute implied warranty of seaworthiness, since Florida law regarding *1377warranties conflicts with the absolute implied warranty of seaworthiness in admiralty law. Compare Gulfstream Cargo, Ltd. , 409 F.2d at 983, with Fireman's Fund Ins. Co. , 742 F.Supp. at 611, and Fla. Stat. § 627.409.
Accordingly, on the issue of seaworthiness, GEICO and Shackleford contracted out of the absolute implied warranty of seaworthiness. GEICO must therefore show that Shackleford's conduct constituted a breach of the implied warranty of seaworthiness and that breach increased the risk. GEICO has not done so. As the evidence demonstrates, and I so find, the damage to the Vessel was a result of debris falling on the switch and the PVC fitting, not from structural damage, electrical deficiencies, or any other proffered suggestion of unseaworthiness. She was seaworthy for the intended use contemplated by the policy.
Count III - Uberrimae Fidei
In Count III, GEICO contends that Shackleford breached the doctrine of uberrimae fidei (utmost good faith) by failing to disclose its condition and value. Uberrimae fidei requires an insured to voluntarily and fully disclose all facts within his knowledge that are material to a calculation of the insurance risk. HIH Marine Servs., Inc. v. Fraser , 211 F.3d 1359, 1362 (11th Cir. 2000) (citing Cigna Prop. & Cas. Ins., Co. v. Polaris Pictures Corp. , 159 F.3d 412, 420 (9th Cir. 1998) ).13 But parties to a marine insurance policy may contract out of uberrimae fidei so long as the contract is not void as to public policy or statute. King , 906 F.2d at 1542. And, when parties "contract for their own standard to show misrepresentation or omission," that language "controls the rights and obligations of the parties," and the doctrine of uberrimae fidei does not apply. Id. at 1542-43.
As I determined in denying GEICO's motion for summary judgment, I again find that GEICO and Shackleford contracted out of the doctrine of uberrimae fidei when they agreed to the following language in the Fraud and Concealment section of the policy:
There is no coverage from the beginning of this policy if you or your agent has omitted, concealed, misrepresented, sworn falsely, or attempted fraud in reference to any matter relating to this insurance before or after any loss.
This language imposes broader obligations on the insured than the doctrine of uberrimae fidei . When read in conjunction with the application, this language essentially requires an intent to defraud on the part of the applicant/insured, a much more stringent standard than that imposed by the doctrine of uberrimae fidei . Accordingly, the policy language controls Shackleford's obligations. King , 906 F.2d at 1542.
As an alternative argument, GEICO contends that Shackleford breached both the doctrine of uberrimae fidei and the terms of the policy. Notwithstanding, under either theory, GEICO's contention is not supported by the evidence. Even if the doctrine of uberrimae fidei applies, *1378GEICO has not carried its burden of demonstrating that Shackleford breached his obligations thereunder by not disclosing facts material to GEICO's calculation of the risks.
With respect to the condition of the Vessel, at the inception of the policy, GEICO, through Boat U.S., knew that the Vessel had been declared a constructive total loss after Shackleford's claim against CNA was resolved, because the Settlement Agreement expressly declared that to be the case. (Settlement Agreement, Plaintiffs Ex. 5, Dkt. 71-5). During final argument, GEICO acknowledged a "fair inference" that Boat U.S. had available information that the Vessel had been declared a constructive total loss. And GEICO knew that Shackleford needed insurance because she was about to be hauled from the water incident to his claim against Sailor's Wharf for structural damage from the improper blocking. (Activity Log, Plaintiff's Ex. 7, Dkt. 71-7) ("[M]r stated he as adv they bound at liab only to move boat then could add hull coverage with PRA restriction until survey[.] Reviewed with Keith and he adv ok[.] Added PRA with hull cov at 264,000 effective immediately."). This explains why GEICO insured the Vessel on a liability only basis. And since GEICO would not insure the hull of the Vessel without a survey, by inference, GEICO was aware that her condition was in question.
I find that Shackleford did not fail to disclose the condition of the Vessel to GEICO, either at the inception of the policy or as the endorsements were added. He was not asked about her condition when he called in the application, and for good reason, since Boat U.S. and GEICO knew that she had been declared a constructive total loss in the CNA litigation. Nor did the evidence demonstrate that he concealed or misrepresented her condition at any time while the policy was in place.
Initially, he understandably (and correctly, as it turned out) assumed, since Boat U.S. had been involved in his claim against CNA, that GEICO was aware of her history. And while GEICO maintains that Shackleford failed to disclose that nothing had been done to repair the problems that led to her being considered a constructive total loss when he applied for the policy, GEICO fails to acknowledge that it issued the policy on a liability only basis because she was being hauled from the water for inspection of the damages to her hull.
Shackleford testified credibly that as far as he was concerned, the boat had salvage value only because of the structural damage caused by Sailor's Wharf, and he had no intention to sail her anywhere. Indeed, he procured the GEICO policy only because the boatyard required it before it would haul her out of the water. And that explains why GEICO added the Port Risk Ashore endorsement, since it knew that she would not be navigating. Only after she was inspected and he discovered that the hull damage was not as bad as he thought did Shackleford decided to sail her to Fort Lauderdale for repairs. And GEICO agreed to remove the Port Risk Ashore restriction for that very purpose.
Moreover, Shackleford informed GEICO that the Vessel needed extensive repairs when he requested removal of the Port Risk Ashore endorsement so that she could be moved to Fort Lauderdale for repairs.14 And before GEICO would place hull coverage on the Vessel for the voyage to Fort Lauderdale, it required Shackleford to provide a marine survey. Shackleford *1379provided the surveys, which detailed the condition of the Vessel. After reviewing the surveys, GEICO removed the Port Risk Ashore restriction, recorded the Vessel's condition as "Good," and recommended certain repairs. (Activity Log, Plaintiff's Ex. 7, Dkt. 71-7; Recommendation List and Response, Plaintiff's Ex. 2, Dkt. 71-2), GEICO was therefore aware of the Vessel's condition when it removed the Port Risk Ashore endorsement and issued the May 27 Endorsement and updated Declarations Page.
In sum, GEICO knew the Vessel's history and condition, and issued the liability only policy consistent with its calculation of the insurance risk. Anything Shackleford did or did not do when the application was submitted could not, therefore, have been material to GEICO's decision, as it had no bearing on the risk it assumed in insuring the Vessel. HIH Marine Servs. , 211 F.3d at 1363 ; see I.T.N. Consolidators, Inc. v. Northern Marine Underwriters, Ltd. , 464 Fed.Appx. 788, 794 (11th Cir. 2012) (per curiam) ("Because all parties knew of the loss here, a misrepresentation that no known loss had occurred could not have led Northern to rely on that statement, and would in no way constitute a material misrepresentation in breach of uberrimae fidei. ").
Finally, with respect to GEICO's contention that Shackleford failed to disclose the value of the Vessel at the inception of the policy, as noted, GEICO knew she had been declared a total constructive loss. Moreover, her value at the inception of the policy was not material to GEICO's calculated risk because her hull was not insured. And when hull coverage was added, GEICO waived its own requirement and insured the hull without a survey, at a value it determined. And with respect to GEICO's contention that Shackleford failed to disclose that his surveyor valued the Vessel at $100,000, the record demonstrates that GEICO determined the value of the Vessel on its own.15 It follows that any non-disclosure by Shackleford had no bearing on the risk GEICO assumed when it insured her hull.16 I find and conclude, therefore, that the evidence does not demonstrate that Shackleford breached either the doctrine of uberrimae fidei or the Fraud and Concealment section of the policy. Cf Gulfstream Cargo, Ltd. , 409 F.2d at 983 (policy voided where vessel was "even unfit for dry docking" and the survey report was concealed).
