Fishing Boat Insurance For Atlantic Canada
Commercial fishermen rely on their ability to locate and gather fish, which is a continuous gamble of profits versus expenditures. The potential for devastating loss is incredibly high in the marine market. However, when properly run, a commercial fishing business can be extremely profitable. The combination of an adequate policy, a ship-shape vessel and a competent captain are ideal for success in this industry.
At Fairway Insurance we understand that no two commercial fish boats or captains are the same and the differences can be rather prominent and substantial. For this reason, we provide commercial Fishing Vessel Insurance packages that are tailor made to meet the needs of all types of fishing businesses.
Fishing boats are a major investment and our brokers want to help you protect the vessel that is responsible for sustaining your livelihood. We will match you and your fishing vessel with ideal coverage for all that your business entails.
The Risk Of Foregoing Commercial Fishing Insurance
While the fishing industry in Canada represents one of the greatest opportunities to thrive as a professional fisherman, a rapidly increasing number of fishing captains are taking the financial risk of foregoing adequate coverage. Unfortunately, many commercial fishing business owners are deciding to offset the costs of escalating fuel prices and catch limits by cancelling their coverage.
The cost of operating your fishing boat without a proper insurance policy in place greatly exceed the cost of purchasing the right policy. This is a fact that many fishermen have discovered the hard way, such as those who have had their boats destroyed through no act of their own like a fire spreading from another vessel, or sinking due to the unexpected ferocity of a storm. Even worse those innocent owners who's vessel has been damaged by the actions of an uninsured owner and had to turn to their own insurance to pay for what the others should have.
