Fishing Insurance FAQ
Anyone involved in the fishing industry, including commercial fishermen, charter boat operators, and fishing guides, may benefit from fishing insurance. It can provide financial protection against unforeseen events that could result in financial loss.
If you provide fishing instruction in a professional capacity please add on The Professional Activities Insurance. This is provided for experienced and qualified Members who, on occasion, need to act in a professional capacity
(e.g. give a lesson ) on a paid for or voluntary basis, up to an annual turnover of £10,000.
However experienced you are, accidents can happen. Public Liability claims can be expensive, especially if an accident causes injury to a third party. So although it is not a legal requirement we would always recommend having insurance in place to protect you (and others) in the event of any unforeseen events.
As well as financial peace of mind, having specialist insurance cover in place also means, in the event of a claim being made against you, the business of resolving that claim becomes the responsibility of the underwriters. They employ experts in the field so you don't have to worry about all the legalities.
C3 covers for a wide range of fishing activities , such as Angling, Wading, Netting and Trapping of Fish, Molluscs, Crustaceans and all legal quarry. River keeping. Inland and Coastal.

Having spent a few days looking at various sites but this particular company does tick all the boxes for me and I'm sure to recommend them to friends and family.
