What is Inland Marine Insurance?

Inland Marine Insurance is coverage for property that moves or is transportable, including equipment in transit, valuable papers, and property at temporary locations.

What You Need to Know

Despite the confusing name (it has nothing to do with boats), inland marine covers your property while in transit to catering events, equipment moved between locations, or valuable property like computers and POS systems that need broader coverage than standard property policies provide.

Why It Matters for Restaurant Owners

Catering operations require inland marine coverage—your standard property policy stops at your restaurant’s door. If you transport food, equipment, and supplies to events, you need coverage for those items in transit and at the event venue.

Multi-Location Coverage:

Similarly, if you rotate expensive equipment between multiple locations or have valuable property that needs blanket coverage, inland marine fills these gaps.
