Offshore

Tournament and offshore coverage for sportfishing boats

Two disclosures drive offshore fishing coverage: how far you go and whether you compete. Tell your agent both, and have the answer in writing.

Offshore range

  • Policies state the waters covered, often as a distance from shore
  • Gulf Stream and Bahamas trips may need broader terms
  • Tell your agent about your usual fishing grounds

Tournaments

Some policies exclude racing or organized competition. Tournaments are usually fishing, but your policy's wording determines whether they are covered.

Coverage depends on the policy, the insurance company and underwriting approval.

Common questions

Do I need to tell my insurer about tournaments?

Yes. Disclosing is the safest approach; ask for confirmation.
