Fishing boat insurance
Fishing boat insurance is intended for owners of fishing boats. It consists of two types of insurance: Hull insurance, which compensates specified loss or damage to the vessel, and liability insurance, which compensates loss or damage suffered by a third party.
If the owner of a boat only wishes to insure it against total loss, it is possible to choose total loss insurance for boats and vessels instead of the fishing boat insurance.
