Start with how the business operates
Marina and boat-dealer insurance should follow owned and customer watercraft, docks, slips, storage, sales, service, launching, hauling, fuel, waterfront property, employees, vehicles, and the contracts that define responsibility.
Industry risks to discuss
- Damage to customer boats, dealer inventory, docks, lifts, buildings, and waterfront equipment
- Launching, hauling, repair, storage, sea-trial, fueling, pollution, and premises incidents
- Employee injury, severe weather, theft, vehicles, cyber events, and interrupted operations
Coverage priorities
- Marina operators legal liability, boat-dealer inventory, and appropriate marine liability
- Commercial property, equipment breakdown, business income, inland marine, and crime
- Workers' compensation, commercial auto, pollution, cyber, and umbrella or excess where appropriate
Prepare a Complete Industry Submission
- Describe every service, product, location, and source of revenue
- Use current property, payroll, sales, fleet, equipment, and inventory schedules
- Explain losses, material changes, and completed corrective action
- Identify contracts, customers, landlords, lenders, or regulators that influence coverage decisions
