I certainly appreciate all of the discussion and response but I perhaps need to restate my specific problem/question. I am renting a boat, the marina I am renting from has liability insurance that protects them (not me). I am really not so much concerned with paying for damage to the boat I rent, but am quite concerned with paying for injury to people who might be injured.

I want to purchase liability insurance that will protect me directly.

Does anyone know of an insurance company that they have used to obtain this sort of coverage? I look forward to giving that company my money, but so far no one wants my money.

I have contacted the agency that insures the marina, and they say there is no such insurance available that they know of. So I have spent many hours calling others, the big companies, the small ones, others local to Winnipesaukee and all say that as far as they know, no such insurance is available and that they have not been asked this question before. It seems that if I rent a boat, have the unfortunate accident and others are injured---that I might be sued and lose all that I own. That is not an acceptable risk to me, and I find it hard to believe that all who have rented a boat before me have done so with no insurance.

For now, thanks to all..........
