Charter Boat Insurance

The “land of 10,000 lakes” is unlike any other place on the planet. Besides all the amazing lake activities, there is great fishing and many things to see on the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers in Minnesota. Famous Walleye lakes here in Minnesota, like Mile Lacs Lake, Lake of the Woods, Leech Lake, Lake Winnibigoshish, Red Lake, Lake Minnetonka and the list goes on and on.

Comprehensive Charter Boat Insurance

This is a good place for a charter service and whether you take clients out fishing or on special tours, you have some unique needs (when it comes to risk factors). These risks all need to be covered with the right kind of charter boat insurance if you want to protect your clients and your business. In fact, just one oversight could end up in financial disaster, and this is what almost happened to Brent R in our example story.

Brent was very fond of fishing, and growing up in the Minneapolis area he had plenty of places to indulge his desires. Whenever he got the chance, Brent would take his boat to one of the many excellent fishing spots and he got to be very familiar with all the best places for fishing. In fact, one day Brent decided to quit his job at a local auto service center and start his own charter fishing service. Now he could look forward to going to work each day and do what he really loved. In the wintertime, he could earn money working for his brother-in-law’s garage, because Brent was a certified auto mechanic.

Everything went well for several years. Captain Brent’s Charter Service became very popular and Brent decided to buy a larger fishing vessel for his business. However, one of Brent’s regular clients, Bill, worked for a local insurance brokerage and he told Brent that he could get him complete insurance coverage at very affordable rates. Brent decided to see him and Bill provided Brent with a total protection package including dockside liability, additional liability and indemnity to fully protect his business. Little did Brent know that he would soon need this insurance coverage.

Just a few months after purchasing his new vessel, one of Brent’s fishing clients slipped and fell on the dock before entering the boat. In fact, the man seriously injured his back and medical claims were substantial. Fortunately, Brent has sufficient dockside liability insurance to cover the claims, because he had recently updated his coverage. If not, this could have triggered a legal and financial nightmare.
