T&T: Marina as additional insured

[John Owen]

Been following the thread with some interest. Most of us rarely read ALL the
fine print in a slip agreement, but if you do, you will find in most
contracts, the language quoted below: you agree to be held accountable even
when the marina is at fault...seems to be boiler plate contract language in
most.

Subject: T&T: Marina as additional insured

A lot of marinas in California follow the recommendations of the California
Marina Recreation Association (MRA) which encourage insurance requirements
including naming the marina as an additional insured. I've never heard of an
insurance  company refusing to do this; I've also never seen an additional
charge to the boat owner for the addition.

In addition, the largest saltwater marina operator in the state also
includes language in the lease that make the boat owner responsible even for
acts of negligence or omission on the part of the marina.  Complain and you
may well get asked to leave the marina.

I believe we will see more of this around the country as the word spreads
through various marina owner/manager associations.
