It is not only for boat repair shops. It also includes many mobile marine services for repair, fueling and detailing.

Packages for small marine artisan businesses begin as low as $1,500. Large businesses with many employees and customers pay more. The cost is related to your volume of business and the services you offer.

No. Marinas may have boat repairers or mechanics employed, but boat repair insurance is generally for businesses that repair and maintain boats and yachts, not for storing, mooring or launching vessels. Marina insurance is typically more complex and can be quite a bit more expensive.

North Carolina generally requires workers’ compensation once an employer has three or more employees, and corporate officers count toward that number (North Carolina Industrial Commission).

Federal Longshore Act coverage applies to covered work on navigable waters and adjoining docks, piers and marine railways. Repairing recreational vessels is excluded if the workers are covered by state workers’ compensation; repair of commercial vessels generally isn’t (U.S. Department of Labor).

Marinas, boat owners and lenders also often ask for proof of liability insurance before you work on a boat or at a dock.
