Frequently asked questions

What types of insurance do I need for a charter fishing business?

Typically, you need general liability, vessel hull and machinery, and possibly workers' compensation if you have crew. This agreement lets you specify those coverages and tailor them to your operation.

Can I add additional insureds like a marina or landowner?

Yes, the agreement includes a section for additional insureds. You can list them, and the policy will be endorsed to cover them as required by your lease or contract.

Does this agreement cover me if I hunt on public land?

The agreement can be customized to include general liability for guided hunts, but you should check with your insurer about specific exclusions for public land or certain game. This draft helps you outline such terms.
