Why specialist Boating Industry Insurance matters

Businesses in the marine sector face unique liabilities related to high-value stock, complex global logistics, and product failure. Manufacturers and distributors face exposures related to international sourcing, product recalls, and overseas legal risks. Standard commercial policies rarely provide the necessary marine-specific liability and transit protection required for an industry built on high-cost vessels and components.

What Does Our Tailored Boating Industry Insurance Package Cover?

Our package provides broad, flexible coverage for operational, stock, and corporate risks:

 

  • Public & Products Liability: Protects against claims arising from customer injury on your premises or industry specific liabilities.
  • Professional Indemnity: Includes cover for any professional advice or services provided causing financial loss. Can be extended to include errors & Ommissions and can be bundled with Public Liablity.
  • Property & Stock: Covers your buildings, contents, and high-value marine stock (boats, engines, inventory) against fire, theft, and accidental damage.
  • On water property: Coverage for wharves, piles and Jetties along with other related property designed for Marinas or Yacht clubs.
  • Marine Cargo & Transit: Crucial protection for your inventory during importing, exporting, and transport within Australia, covering goods from origin to final destination.
  • Business Interruption: Replaces lost revenue if your premises are forced to close due to an insured loss.
  • Corporate & Global Risks: Includes international cover for international operations, Directors and Officers Liability, and Management Liability for corporate governance risks.
  • Private/Commercial Skipper Liability: Essential cover for the liabilities faced when employees or contractors are operating vessels for sales demonstrations, delivery, or other professional purposes.
