Why Insurance Matters for Every Boat Owner
Accidents on the water don’t happen often, but when they do, the financial and environmental impact can be significant. That’s why comprehensive boat insurance is essential for every vessel at Gulf Harbour Marina. Insurance doesn’t just safeguard your boat – it protects you, your crew, and the entire marina community.
To berth at Gulf Harbour Marina, all vessels must carry full insurance coverage. This isn’t just a rule – it’s a vital step in keeping our harbour safe and secure for everyone.
- The must-have: A minimum of $5 million third-party liability cover
- Even better: $10 million liability cover , which is what we recommend for that extra layer of protection
Think of insurance as one of those things you hope never to use, but will be thankful for if the unexpected happens.
Preventing Oil Spills: Keeping Our Waters Clean
Recently, we’ve had a few reports of oil leaks within the marina. This is a timely reminder of our commitment to protecting the harbour and surrounding marine environment.
Oil, fuel, or chemical discharge into the water isn’t just unsightly – it causes long-lasting harm to marine life and can result in costly clean-up charges for boat owners.
At Gulf Harbour Marina, we take environmental responsibility seriously. Our Overboard Discharge Policy is designed to prevent pollution and keep the waters clean for everyone to enjoy.
You can review the full policy on our Marina Rules page. If it’s been a while since you last checked, we encourage you to take a few minutes to refresh your knowledge.
Doing Our Part Together
By maintaining the right insurance and preventing oil spills, we can all play a part in protecting Gulf Harbour Marina. Together, we’ll ensure a safe, sustainable, and welcoming place for every boater.
