That's two incidents just on this short thread where the injured passenger was drunk. Might be a good idea to only carry sober passengers.

Excellent point! I raised my liability after actually reading my policy a few years ago.

I can't comment on the waiver but what most people don't realize is you can get sued even if the injured person doesn't want to. If someone is injured on your boat and they have health insurance that has to pay for their injuries then their insurance company may come after you.

That was what my health ins company was going to do.


Got a question for the wakezone ins people , what is the max coverage for medical coverage per person that you offer.
