✅ Marine Insurance That Moves With Your Business

At WebInsure, we understand that no two marine businesses are the same. 🚢 Whether you operate fishing vessels, charter boats, cargo carriers, or marine service businesses, we provide tailored Marine Insurance packages that protect your people, your assets, and your operations.

We know that off-the-shelf cover often falls short. That’s why we mix policies from multiple marine insurers to deliver the best protection at competitive pricing. 💰


📚 What Does Marine Insurance Cover?

We can tailor a Marine Business Insurance Package that combines:

🛡️ Public Liability Insurance

  • Accidents at ports or during marine operations


🚤 Hull Insurance

Covers your vessels for:

  • Accidental damage

  • Sinking

  • Collision

  • Fire

  • Malicious damage

👉 Suitable for fishing boats, charter vessels, commercial craft, and more.


⚙️ Machinery Breakdown Insurance

  • Engines

  • Winches

  • Navigation systems

  • Refrigeration units


🚗 Motor Insurance

Covers vehicles used in marine-related business activities, including:

  • Tow vehicles

  • Delivery vehicles

  • Maintenance vans


❤️ Personal Accident & Illness / Income Protection

  • Illness or injury stops them from working

  • Long-term income replacement is needed


👥 Keyman & Business Partnership Insurance

  • Work Cover

  • Fishing Licences

  • Other statutory payments


🌊 Can My Marine Business Be Covered?

✔️ Most marine businesses can receive a quote within 48 hours.
✔️ High-risk marine businesses (such as offshore, cyclone-exposed, or long-distance operators) may require international insurer quotes, which can take up to 30 days.

👉 Our team is experienced in securing coverage for:

  • Charter boats

  • Commercial fishing vessels

  • Cargo and transport operations

  • Dive and tour operators

  • Marina-based businesses

  • Maintenance and marine services


⭐ Why Marine Insurance is Essential

✔️ Complex Marine Risks

Operating on water involves higher risks like storms, sinking, collisions, and equipment failure.

✔️ Coverage Gaps are Common

Many direct marine policies miss critical inclusions like machinery breakdown or public liability while off-site.

✔️ Marine Business Requires Specialist Cover

Standard commercial policies often exclude marine exposures—marine-specific insurance is crucial.

✔️ Contractual Requirements

Ports, government authorities, and fishing licenses may require proof of adequate marine cover.

❌ Common Misconceptions About Marine Insurance

“Marine Insurance is just hull insurance.”

👉 Hull insurance is just one part—you also need public liability, machinery cover, and potentially cargo protection.

“I’m covered under my commercial policy.”

👉 Most commercial policies exclude marine-related activities. A tailored marine policy is essential.

“I don’t need public liability—I’m only out at sea.”

👉 Public liability extends to accidents at marinas, ports, and during loading/unloading.

“Flood and cyclone cover are always included.”

👉 In high-risk zones, flood and cyclone exposure may require special extensions.


🗂️ Real-World Case Study: Keeping a Charter Business Afloat

Client: Local charter boat operator in North Queensland
Issue: Vessel suffered severe engine failure during cyclone season, and a passenger tripped during disembarkation.
Outcome: WebInsure’s marine package covered:

  • Full engine replacement

  • Passenger injury claim

  • Lost income during repair downtime

👉 Without comprehensive marine-specific cover, the client could have faced financial collapse.
