Outdoor Recreation Insurance

Many types of businesses and individuals need outdoor recreation insurance. Generally speaking, Prime can help outdoor recreation businesses, guided tour companies, outdoor guides, and companies that offer rentals.

A lot of insurance companies have gaps and exclusions in their policies that will likely not cover some of the activities being offered by outdoor recreation companies. However, Prime writes customized insurance policies based on the insured’s needs so they can operate their business with true peace of mind.

Furthermore, if your client in the outdoor recreation industry has been denied, canceled, or non-renewed by another insurance company, Prime can step in to offer insurance. When others can’t or won’t provide coverage, we do our best to provide a solution.

The outdoor recreation industry has many risks associated with it, particularly due to the dangers of being outside and using potentially dangerous equipment or rentals.

High-powered machines like boats, ATVs, jet skis, snowmobiles, and other recreational vehicles provide exhilarating thrills and fast speeds but come at the cost of requiring some training and safety protocols to be properly handled. Hiking, biking, and climbing range in difficulty but always pose the risk of slipping and falling. The point is, that each activity or sport within the outdoor recreation industry has their own unique risk. It’s important to assess these risks and make sure your outdoor rec clients are implementing proper risk management to avoid accidents and lawsuits.

There are lots of accident statistics out there regarding the outdoor recreation industry. For example, in 2020, there were at least 5,265 recreational boating accidents that involved 3,191 injuries and almost $63 million of damage to property. Biking, an activity enjoyed by millions of Americans, had the most injuries of any other sport. There were 425,910 injuries from biking and 229,974 injuries from ATVing in 2020, according to the Insurance Information Institute. Despite following the best safety practices, there’s always a chance that an incident, accident, or lawsuit can occur. Outdoor recreation insurance can help protect your client’s business and their assets should something like this happen to them.

Typically, outdoor guides are provided in a public or private setting. Sometimes, in addition to being a guide, they can be an instructor as well. Considering the aforementioned, unique risks are present.

Due to their expertise, outdoor guides can offer a unique experience for small and large groups. They might be able to take their customers to places an experienced adventurer would otherwise be unable to if they were alone. Guides can also provide a private experience that’s more hands-on.

As an insurance producer, you want to make sure these clients have insurance for outdoor guides. With Prime, they can have common coverages like personal or professional liability and they can also have specialty coverage such as alleged sexual abuse and molestation or equipment rental liability. Most importantly, Prime can be your client’s guide every step of the way if a claim or lawsuit occurs.
