    Charter Insurance

    Renewal coming up next month and my premium has gone up a bit. Mine is through Yacht Insurance in Sidney. I compared prices a couple years ago and couldn't do any better than I already had. Anyone else feel they are getting a great deal and policy from someone else? Just wanting to check again on a short list.

    Was that the Enns Office at one time? I used them for years, but then their price inflated and i got a better policy in town and cheaper. I checked in CR the last time I compared (2 years ago) and it was still cheaper here.

    Found out something interesting today. Seems the marine insurance industry isn't fully up to speed on the latest Transport Canada Small Passenger Vessels regs yet. Not even aware that the standard life jacket is not accepted by TC regs. I quickly explained some of the new requirements for both vessel and skipper/crew. I asked so if someone doesn't comply with the required TC regs...are they covered in a liability case where the owner/skipper is sued? Answer, NO! So those of you holding a policy..doesn't mean its worth anything if your flying under the TC radar screen. If sued you could loose your house, car, basically everything!

    Absolutely correct...no matter what your current policy is, as of November if your vessel and skipper are not up to current TC standards....your policies will be void if you run into a liability issue.
    They might even tell you not to worry but remember one thing, insurance companies hate to pay out so they will follow every avenue to avoid responsibility...
    I can tell you honestly that probably 10% of the operators out of our area were fully compliant so next year might be interesting.
    It's not that difficult...a few courses and a self-inspection...how hard can that be.

    I'm glad I'm packing the yellow sticker.. I just wonder where the enforcement is.

    You would be surprised by how many guides (many on here) don't comply and therefor have no insurance for potential liability claims. Dumb!
