Boat Dealer Insurance Program from Continental Risk / Continental Marine Insurance Services Continental Risk / Continental Marine Insurance Services offers a Boat Dealer Insurance program built for marine dealers who sell, service, store, or transport boats, motors, and related equipment. Combining Ocean Marine expertise with Property & Casualty capabilities, Continental Risk packages dealer-specific protections into a streamlined portfolio so independent agents and brokers can place accounts with confidence. Ideal Accounts and Appetite This program is a fit for a broad range of marine dealers, including: Boat dealers with new and/or used inventory Dealerships that provide sales, repair, maintenance, or demonstration services Operations that transport boats for shows, deliveries, or customer locations Appetite ranges from small independent dealers to larger multi-location marine retailers. The program is designed to handle typical dealer exposures such as inventory while held for sale, boats in transit, on exhibition, or used for on-water demonstrations and test rides. Accounts that regularly move boats across state lines or that provide afloat demonstrations are eligible, subject to underwriting review. Risks with unusual sporting charters, high-hazard modifications, or significant uninsured operations should be discussed with underwriting prior to submission. Coverage Highlights and Advantages Physical protection for boats, outboard/inboard motors, and accessories held for sale Coverage for boats while in transit, on exhibition, or being demonstrated — including while afloat Liability coverage for loss of life, bodily injury, and third-party property damage Legal defense, court costs, and wreck removal where required by law Optional or bundled coverages: Property, General Liability, Business Auto, Equipment, Work Boats, Excess/Bumbershoot liability, Jones Act exposure, and Marine Workers’ Compensation in select states This program’s integration of Ocean Marine and P&C lines helps reduce gaps that can occur when those exposures are placed separately. That makes it easier for you to present a coordinated package to your dealer clients. Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums Continental Risk underwrites accounts on a case-by-case basis. Submissions should include a detailed description of business operations, locations, inventory values, transportation practices, exposure to on-water demonstrations, and loss history. The program’s minimum premium starts at $1,500; final pricing depends on underwriting, limits, deductibles, and the specific mix of coverages requested. Typical factors that affect acceptability and pricing: Value and type of inventory (new vs. used, high-value specialty craft) Amount and frequency of on-water demonstrations or test rides Transport methods and distance (local deliveries vs. interstate movement) Garage/repair operations and customer slip or dock exposures Territories and Availability The Boat Dealer Insurance program is available in most U.S. states, including AL, AK, AZ, AR, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, DC, WV, WI, and WY.
