Coverage for your marine business

Watercraft and equipment coverage
Helps pay for repairs or replacement of your boat if it is damaged or stolen. Flexible deductible options.

Watercraft liability
Watercraft liability coverage will help pay damages for bodily injury or property damage for which the insured is legally liable through ownership, maintenance, or use of the insured boat.

Pollution liability
Provides coverage for the sudden, accidental and unexpected discharge or spillage of a contaminant from the insured vessel.

Trailer coverage
Coverage for the trailer used to carry the insured watercraft.

Additional Marine Tradesman insurance coverages

Business interruption coverage
When a loss occurs, it can lead to costly downtime. Business interruption coverage helps marine businesses withstand a covered loss so it is "business as normal."

Watersport liability
Coverage for bodily injury or property damage while the insured vessel is being used for waterskiing, aquaplaning or any similar sport in which a person(s) or object(s) are being towed.

Premises or slip liability
"Slip & fall" coverage, provides protection for the insured if another person is injured while on the insured's property.

Medical payments
Helps pay for necessary medical treatment resulting from an accident causing bodily injury to any person while in, boarding or leaving the insured vessel.

Personal property
Provides coverage for personal items not generally required for the safe operation or maintenance of the vessel (i.e. stereos, cameras, water-skis, sporting equipment, life vest, etc.). Items are covered while aboard an insured vessel, or while being loaded or unloaded.

Emergency towing & assistance
Coverage will reimburse the reasonable cost incurred (up to the limit purchased) if commercial towing assistance is required. Includes delivery of gas, oil, parts or a loaned battery (excluding the cost of items themselves) or emergency labor, while away from safe harbor.

Fishing equipment
Coverage on a primary basis for fishing equipment while aboard the insured vessel or when it is stored in a locked storage facility. Fishing equipment includes gear and equipment used in the legal taking of fish, including rods, reels, lures, rigs, line, tackle boxes and related electronic gear.

Uninsured and underinsured watercraft
Coverage will pay for damages you are legally entitled to receive from an uninsured owner or operator of a watercraft (other than the insured watercraft) if bodily injury results from an accident while aboard.

Crew liability
Coverage for paid captain or crew member while aboard the insured vessel.
