What is Liability Coverage?

Liability Coverage, often referred to as Protection & Indemnity (P&I) in marine insurance, protects vessel owners against the financial consequences of causing bodily injury, death, or property damage to others while operating their boat. It also covers legal defense costs, wreck removal, pollution liability, and passenger injury claims—critical protections for any responsible boat owner.

If your vessel collides with another boat, damages a dock, or a guest sustains an injury on board, Liability Coverage ensures that legal and settlement expenses are handled by your insurer rather than out of your own pocket. Most marinas, lenders, and foreign ports require proof of this coverage before granting access or mooring privileges.

For private and pleasure vessels, P&I Coverage functions as the maritime equivalent of third-party liability insurance—comprehensive protection for your legal obligations at sea and on shore.
