Charter Boats
At Southern Cross, we work with leading insurers who specialize in coverage for inspected and uninspected passenger carrying vessels. Whether you conduct 6Pax fishing charters or snorkel tours on a 149Pax cat, we can help you find the right solution.
What protection should I consider?
Charter boats typically carry passenger, crew and third party liability protection against bodily injury and property damage. Physical damage coverage for your vessel (hull & machinery) is also recommended to protect your most valuable asset against fire, theft, collision and weather-related damage.
