Business insurance
Insurance for Boat Sales & Service
A boat dealer and workshop holds real value and risk: customer vessels in for service, floor stock, parts, and lifting and slipway equipment, plus liability from launching, test runs and on-water handovers. A typical premium near $900 a year usually reflects liability, stock and contents, and tool and equipment cover.
With many policies renewing around 30 June, reviewing cover ahead of the summer service rush is sensible. Cockatoo helps you find an insurance partner who understands customers' boats in your care, marine liability and the workshop side of the business.
Common questions
Boat Sales & Service — insurance questions
What insurance does a boat sales and service business need?
Public liability, stock and contents cover for floor vessels and parts, cover for customer boats in your care during service, tool and equipment cover, and workers' compensation if you employ technicians.
Does holding customers' boats affect my cover?
Yes. Vessels in your care for service or sale carry their own exposure, so reviewing that cover near a 30 June renewal helps ensure customer boats and your floor stock are properly protected before the busy season.
