Helping a Watersports Company Keep Their Head in the Clouds
Insurance for Water Sports Companies
Over the last five years, Miami Beach Ocean Watersports has been helping thrill-seekers fly like a bird 500 feet above the water. Parasailing is big business in the U.S. with nearly 238 commercial parasailing operations across the country. Although a whole lot of fun, the adventure is also rife with risk, with incidents reported during inclement weather or even death when riders were unable to get out of their harness support system after an unexpected landing in water during high winds.
A highly unregulated sport, in 2014, the State of Florida passed The White-Miskill Act for Parasailing to help control the sport. In short, the law requires parasailing companies to maintain an insurance policy, and restricts operation during inclement weather.
