This includes any damage caused to your boat due to natural circumstances or vandalism and any damage caused to other people and properties by your boat. This is where our commercial and charter boat liability insurance can come to your rescue and help keep your business stay afloat.

Our commercial and charter boat insurance cover most of your commercial boats, including party boats, bar boats, double-decker boats, commercial fishing vessels, tugboats, passenger charters, and rental vessels.
