When a Rome, GA boat owner charters his boat, he or she is essentially running a service business for customers, even if the boat is owned by the person providing the charter and used as a private vessel at other times. This dual situation starts to blur the lines a bit when the boat insurance used for protection is still a private boat insurance plan. Most consumer insurance policies are not intended for business use. In fact, if it turns out a damage claim is associated with a business, some providers may actually deny the claim when it doesn’t fit the terminology used for private vessel or residence coverage. To avoid this problem outright, a boat owner should really be looking at having a chartering service insurance policy in place. That type of coverage accepts that the boat is being used as a business at the time of risk, and provides appropriate coverage for related issues, including injuries and losses to passengers on board at the time.
