Coverage Considerations for Marinas

Waterfront businesses face risks that extend beyond the shoreline. From damage to docks and vessels to liability involving guests and daily operations, your insurance program should reflect the full scope of your business.
number-1
Waterfront Property and Weather Exposure
Buildings, docks, and equipment face exposure to wind, hail, flooding, and other causes of physical damage that can interrupt operations.
number-2
Vessel and Customer Liability
Boat storage, handling, and marina services create liability exposures involving customers’ vessels, visitors, and property.
number-3
Business Continuity and Staff Protection
Property damage, workplace injuries, and cyber incidents can affect your ability to serve customers and maintain revenue.

Insurance Solutions Designed for Marina Operations

Explore core protection and specialty options shaped around your operations.

Core Coverage Foundations

Property Protection on Land and Water Wet and dry property coverage addresses physical damage to insured marina property. The WestWall Marina™ program offers agreed-value coverage for static property without a coinsurance requirement. Available property coverage includes wind and hail, flood, earthquake, and collapse. Named windstorm coverage can be added.
Marine Liability and Vessel Coverage

Marina operators liability and commercial general liability address different exposures arising from waterfront operations. Boat dealer coverage, inland marine, hull coverage for owned boats, and protection and indemnity can help round out the program based on your activities.

Business Income and Extra Expense

A covered property loss can affect more than buildings and equipment. Business income and extra expense coverage helps address the financial impact of an interruption while your operation recovers.

 

Specialty Coverage and Program Options

WestWall Marina™ Program For eligible marina operators, boat dealers, and yacht clubs, WestWall Marina™ brings property and liability protection together in a single package policy. The program is underwritten by certain underwriters at Lloyd’s.
Pollution and Liquor Liability

Sudden and accidental pollution coverage addresses a specialized waterfront exposure. Liquor liability is also available for eligible operations that serve alcohol.

Additional Operational Protection

Separate coverage options include hired and non-owned automobile liability, cyber liability, and workers’ compensation for marina staff.

Wind and Hail Deductible Options Wind and hail deductible buy-down options provide another way to structure your program around your property exposure and financial priorities.
