When your boat is your livelihood, it’s important to have adequate protection in place to reflect your risks—not only for the vessel itself, but its crew and any other third parties.
Our specialist team can design a bespoke commercial marine insurance solution for your business, helping to protect your vessels—from the boatyard to the open waters.
Gallagher offers commercial boat insurance policies for all types of vessels, including commercial fishing boats, cargo boats, charter boats, ferries, and specialist workboats such as survey boats and wind turbine maintenance vessels.
We understand that every business will have its unique challenges when it comes to managing and mitigating the risks that come with operating and maintaining commercial vessels, and we can tailor cover according to your specific vessels and business operations.
The covers within a commercial craft insurance policy will depend on what types of vessels you have, and their specific business use. We offer specialist insurances not only for the hull, but also for third-party liability that extends to cover the commercial activities involved. We can include crew liability (to comply with the current relevant UK legislation), personal accident and medical expenses insurance.
The cost of your policy will depend on a number of factors, such as the size, construction and value of your vessel(s), intended business use, mooring location, and the claims history of the owner, captain or navigator. We will work with you to determine suitable cover for your business—while aiming to keep premiums at a level that is acceptable to you.

Our marine insurance team has long-standing relationships with marine insurers in both the UK and overseas, meaning we are able to arrange comprehensive and appropriately-priced insurance portfolios to suit all types of commercial boat operations.
