Florida charter boat insurance
Charter boat insurance for Florida operators.
Charter boat insurance in Florida is commercial marine coverage for operators who carry paying passengers. A policy typically addresses liability to passengers and others, damage to the vessel, and crew. A personal boat policy generally does not cover paid trips. Nymble Insurance places charter risks of all kinds: tell us about your operation and a licensed agent will shop it for you. Approval and price depend on underwriting.

Charter boat insurance questions, answered
Does my personal boat policy cover charters?
Personal policies generally exclude paid passenger trips. Ask a licensed agent about commercial coverage.
Can Nymble place my charter operation?
Yes, we place charter risks of all kinds, including fishing, dive, tour and sunset charters. We cannot promise approval or a specific price; underwriting looks at the vessel, operation, captain and loss history.
What do I need to share?
Charter type, vessel details, passenger count, operating area, captain credentials and any loss history.
Do you insure fishing guides?
Yes. Inshore and offshore fishing charters are a core part of what we place; terms depend on the operation.
