Recreational Marine
Insurance Seminar
Recreational marine is one of the most accessible entry points into the marine insurance market — and one of the most frequently mishandled. Yachts, marinas, and boat manufacturers each carry exposures that fall outside standard homeowners and commercial policies, and agents who do not understand those differences create real risk for their clients and themselves.
This two-day CMIP seminar covers the full recreational marine landscape, from personal yacht coverage to marina operators liability to boat builder and manufacturer risks.
