marina operators legal liability coverage
Insures the liability exposures associated with the operation of a marina
including those related to the care custody, and control of watercraft. The
coverage may include both land and waterborne exposures located at the marina.
A marina operator is responsible for affording vessels that make use of its
facilities with a safe berth. To that end, the marina operator must advise a
vessel operator of any hazards or deficiencies associated with the marina or
the berth that the vessel is to moor in. When the marina operator fails to do
this, the operator becomes liable to the vessel operator for damage that results
from the unsafe berth. Polices normally provide coverage for private pleasure
vessels but may be endorsed to cover commercial vessels should one dock at the
marina.
