I got out of the parasail business 4 years ago because of insurance.The only insurance you can get these days only insures the passengers when they are on the boat they are not insured if they are in the air.The policy was a million dollar liability policy that was just good enough to make the county happy that you were insured other than that it was worthless. And i payed $8000 a year for this worthless policy.

There is a boat insurance company called INTERNATIONAL WATER SAFETY FOUNDATION(IWSF) that insures small boats and some high performance boats.I would suggest that anyone with a policy with them check with your state insurance department as they are the same type of company that caused this problem.I have some paperwork to back up my statements.

The insurance companies just want you to keep thinking its 'all those law suits' causing your premiums to go up....all while they are racking up triple digit profits.

Do you really think premiums would go down if there were law suit caps?
Not a chance.

It's good to know that the one week a year it's out of the water getting a bottom job that baby has insurance! The other 51 weeks you just roll the dice.
