When choosing a boat storage facility in Florida, the marina’s hurricane-season safety protocol and wind-load ratings should be key factors in making your decision. Just as you want to be sure that the marina you are considering is properly maintained and insured, remember that works both ways.
Listing Your Marina as an Additional Insured
Most marinas require their customers to have a watercraft insurance policy that includes liability coverage. Importantly, marinas often require to be listed as an “additional insured” on the boat owner’s watercraft insurance policy. This helps protect the marina’s interest in the event that damage to the marina, or to another customer’s boat, is caused by your boat as the result of a storm or other event.
SkiSafe, our watercraft insurance partner since 2014, will include the marina facility as an additional insured and provide policy-holders with proof of insurance at no extra cost.
