SB606 Compliance for Marinas: How vQuip Can Help

As a marina owner or operator in Florida, you are likely aware of the requirements of SB606, also known as the Boating Safety Act of 2022. This state bill requires marinas to extend coverage to your renters: SB606 requires boat rental operators to either have commercial coverage that extends to the renter (insurance policy must provide coverage of at least $500,000 per person and $1 million per event. The livery shall have proof of such insurance available for inspection at the location where livery vessels are being leased or rented, or location where livery vessels are being leased or rented, or offered for lease or rent, and shall provide to each renter the insurance carrier’s name and address and the insurance policy number) or present the renter with the opportunity to purchase coverage against any accident, loss, injury, property damage, or other casualty caused by or resulting from the operation of the livery vessel of at least $500,000 per person and $1 million per occurrence. If the renter declines to purchase such insurance, the renter must sign and date the following acknowledgement, in at least 14 point font, a copy of which must be retained by the livery for at least one year after the rental period expires, inserting the price of the coverage they declined.
